Modeling Equality Exit Ticket

A balance is level when both sides have the same value. In an equation, the equals sign (=) means “has the same value as.” Solve each challenge. You can use counters or draw your thinking.

Read the Balance

Use what you know about equal values to solve each puzzle.

1.A balance has 4 blocks on the left pan and 4 blocks on the right pan. Is it level? Choose the best answer.
  • Yes, because both sides have 4 blocks.
  • No, because the sides need different numbers of blocks.
2.A pan has 3 red blocks and 2 blue blocks. The other pan has 5 green blocks. Write a number sentence to show whether the pans have equal values.
3.Complete the equation so both sides have the same value: 6 = 4 +
4.True or false? In 2 + 5 = 7, the equals sign means that 2 + 5 has the same value as 7.
TrueFalse
5.Mason puts 8 counters on one side of a balance. She puts 3 counters and 4 counters together on the other side. Which side has more counters, and by how many?
6.Which number makes this equation true? 5 + 2 = ____ + 3
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
7.Charlotte says, “The equation 9 = 6 + 3 is wrong because the answer should come after the equals sign.” Is Charlotte correct? Explain what the equals sign tells us.
8.Draw a balance or use counters to show that 3 + 3 = 2 + 4. Show 6 counters on each side: 3 + 3 counters on one side and 2 + 4 counters on the other. Label the number of counters on each side.
9.Make your own true equation using addition on both sides. Use numbers from 0 to 10.
