Equal Sign & True/False Equations — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. equal
2. same
3. both
4. true
5. false
6. sides
Part B: Fill in the Blank

1. The = sign means same amount on both sides.
Equal sign shows both sides have the same value.
2. 5 = 5 is a true equation.
When both sides match, the equation is true.
3. In 3 = 3, both sides are equal .
Matching numbers on each side means equal.
4. The = sign is NOT where the answer comes next.
