Equal Sign & True/False Equations — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. order
2. swap
3. any
4. way
5. plus
6. addend
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 2 + 3 gives the same total as 3 + 2 .
Order does not change the total when you add.
2. 4 + 1 has the same sum as 1 + 4.
4 + 1 and 1 + 4 both give 5.
3. If 5 + 2 = 7, then 2 + 5 also equals 7 .
Swapping addends keeps the sum the same.
4. 6 + 3 and 3 + 6 both have a sum of 9 .
6 and 3 add to 9 no matter the order.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 2 + 5 = 5 + 2 is true.
True False
Swapping addends keeps both sides equal to 7.
2. 3 + 4 = 4 - 3 is true.
True False
3 + 4 is 7, but 4 - 3 is 1, so sides differ.
3. 6 + 1 has the same total as 1 + 6.
True False
Both 6 + 1 and 1 + 6 equal 7, so totals match.
