True Equation Thinking
🕵️ Part 1: Equation Detective - True or False?
WALT: Use relational thinking to determine if addition and subtraction equations are true or false.
Instructions: Look at each equation carefully. Circle True or False, then explain your thinking. You can use mental maths, draw pictures, or use counters to help you!
Example: 8 + 7 = 15 True / False
This is TRUE because 8 + 7 makes 15. I can check by doing 15 - 7 = 8.
