1. 4 + 3 = 7

Swapped equation: ________________

2. 8 - 2 = 6

Swapped equation: ________________

3. 5 + 1 = 6

Swapped equation: ________________

4. 9 - 4 = 5

Swapped equation: ________________

5. 2 + 6 = 8

Swapped equation: ________________

6. 10 - 3 = 7

Swapped equation: ________________

7. 3 + 5 = 8

Swapped equation: ________________

8. 7 - 1 = 6

Swapped equation: ________________

💭 Part 2: Explain Your Thinking

9. Write a sentence explaining why a swapped equation is still true:
10. Circle the correct answer: When we swap the sides of an equation, the equation is:

Still true

Not true anymore

A different number

🔍 Review: Understanding the Equal Sign

Explanation: The equal sign (=) means that the two sides of the equation represent the same value. When we see an equation, we can think of it as saying "the same as." Let's practice identifying if the equal sign means the two sides are the same.

11. Determine if the equal sign means the two sides are the same:
a. 3 + 2 = 5

Are both sides the same? ________________

b. 6 - 1 = 4

Are both sides the same? ________________
