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.

"Perceptual subitizing" is instantly knowing an amount without counting each individual item. These perceptual subitizing cards can be used with Numbers Talks, games, or as a quick warm-up at the beginning of a lesson.
