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.
