One-Step Addition and Subtraction Equations: Sample FAST Questions

Students write and solve one-step equations in one variable using addition and subtraction, where all terms and solutions are integers. They solve equations like x + 7 = 12 by using inverse operations, and they write their own equations from real-world situations such as spending or earning money.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

The FAST tests this with equation editor items where students solve for the variable and multiple choice items asking which equation models a given word problem.
