= Sign

Language

When you read an = sign aloud if, instead of saying "equals" (which is a word that children mostly know from its math context) you often say "the same as" or "the same amount as", that helps children understand what "equals" means.

What are things that elementary teachers can do to help children feel comfortable and familiar with the "same as" meaning of the = sign?

Try to remember, or figure out each of these ways to teach this important concept, and then click to check your answers. 

This is the last topic, so when you have looked at all of these, you are done with this study assignment.
