Equal Sign & True/False Equations — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. amount
2. value
3. total
4. worth
5. check
6. pair
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. When you see =, it means the two sides are the same amount.
The equal sign shows both sides hold the same amount.
2. The = sign does NOT mean the answer comes next.
Many kids think = means 'answer next,' but it means same value.
3. In 4 = 4, both sides have the same value .
When two sides share one value, the equation is true.
4. To check an equation, add each side and see if the totals match .
Matching totals show the equal sign is used correctly.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The = sign means both sides hold the same amount.
True False
That is exactly what the equal sign tells us to check.
2. The = sign tells you the answer is coming next.
True False
The equal sign means same amount, not 'answer next.'
3. 6 = 6 shows both sides have the same value.
True False
When both sides match, the equal sign fits.
