= Sign

D. True False Equations

Look at a variety of equations, and ask children to decide and discuss which ones are true and false. Some good ones to start out with are:

5 = 5	4 = 4 + 0
4 = 4 + 1	5 = 4 + 1
3 + 2 = 2 + 3	8 + 2 = 9 + 1
5 + 1 = 2 + 2	5 + 1 = 6 + 1

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.

C. Open Number Sentences	D. True False Equations
E. Fix Your Errors	F. Equation Chains
G. Use another notation for the value of calculations to the left and right of an = sign

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