Equal Sign & True/False Equations — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. left
2. right
3. equal
4. side
5. match
6. same
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In 7 = 3 + 4, the number alone is on the left side.
7 sits alone on the left, and 3 + 4 is on the right.
2. In 3 + 4 = 7, the number alone is on the right side.
7 sits alone on the right of the equal sign.
3. Is 6 = 2 + 4 true? Yes or no? yes
2 + 4 is 6, so both sides equal 6.
4. Is 5 + 2 = 7 true? Yes or no? yes
5 + 2 is 7, and the right side is 7.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The equation 8 = 5 + 3 is true.
True False
5 + 3 is 8, so both sides are 8.
2. Equations only work when the answer is on the right.
True False
The number alone can be on either side of =.
3. The equation 4 + 2 = 9 is true.
True False
4 + 2 is 6, not 9, so the equation is false.
