In this lesson, students explore equality using the equal sign. They will first explore equality with sets or groups using the equal sign then move to exploring equality with equations. The lesson could be taught consecutively in one math block but may need to extend over multiple days depending on student understanding of the concept of equality, or having equal amounts. The lesson could also be modified or extended by repeating tasks and discussion with more emphasis on subtraction.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students work with different quantities to determine if they have the same value / equal. The information is presented in a context, not simply in an equation format, so students will need to apply their understanding of problem solving and resulting equations along with computation in order to determine if the amounts are equal. Students will explain and defend their answers. This file includes lesson, student recording sheets, and printable exit tickets. Remix this lesson to include extension ideas or student work samples.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students apply properties and explore number relationships as they balance addition and subtraction equations and strengthen their understanding of the meaning of the equal sign.This file contains the lesson plan, answer key, and student materials. Remix this lesson to include extension/math station ideas.
Students will watch a sample video to review how to balance each side of the equal sign. Students will complete all slides by showing their work on how they solved each true/false equation.
Students develop a physical understanding for the meaning of equality by trying to find equal lengths using rods.
This task helps students broaden and deepen their understanding of the equals sign and equality.
