This Grade 1 easy-1 worksheet introduces the true meaning of the equal sign. Children trace six math words, complete four fill-in sentences explaining that = means 'same amount on both sides,' and answer three true-or-false statements. The sheet gently corrects the common misconception that the equal sign means 'the answer comes next,' using friendly language and small numbers under 10.
