Equal Sign
Tells you that the things on each side are the same. Equal Sign Tells you that the things on each side are the same.
Examples 5 = 5 1 + 1 = 2 2 + 2 = 4
True or False A true equation means both sides equal. A false equation means both sides do not equal.
True Equations 2 = 2 2 + 1 = 3 3 - 3 = 1
False Equations 1 = 2 2 + 1 = 2 4 – 1 = 2
Guided Practice Are the equations TRUE or FALSE? 2 – 1 = 2 3 + 1 = 4 4 + 1 = 5 5 – 1 = 5 1 + 0 = 1 2 + 0 = 0
Independent Practice Are the equations TRUE or FALSE? 2 + 1 = 3 4 – 1 = 3 2 – 1 = 2 5 – 2 = 2 1 + 0 = 0 2 + 2 = 4
