Equal Sign Equations Exploration
Read each number sentence carefully. Show how you worked out answers where asked.
What Does the Equal Sign Tell Us?
1.In a number sentence, what does the equal sign mean?
- The numbers on each side have the same value
- The next number is always the answer
- The numbers on each side must be added
2.Which number sentence is an equation?
- 9 × 4
- 9 × 4 = 36
- 9 × 4 + 2
3.Write True or False for each equation: 7 × 5 = 35; 6 × 4 = 26; 30 ÷ 5 = 6; 42 ÷ 7 = 5.
TrueFalse
Find the Missing Value
4.Complete each equation with a number that makes it true: 8 × □ = 56; □ × 9 = 63; 45 ÷ □ = 5; □ ÷ 4 = 8.
5.Work out the missing number in 6 × □ = 54. Show a calculation or explain your thinking.
6.Select every equation below that is true: 4 × 7 = 28; 6 × 5 = 35; 48 ÷ 8 = 6; 9 × 3 = 28.
- 4 × 7 = 28
- 6 × 5 = 35
- 48 ÷ 8 = 6
- 9 × 3 = 28
Explain and Connect
7.Explain why 7 × 4 = 28 is true. Include the words “same value” in your explanation.
8.Match each maths item to its description.
- 5 × 8
- 5 × 8 = 40
- 5 × 8 = 42
- 40
- An equation that is true
- An expression with a value of 40
- An equation that is false
- A number, not an equation
9.Write one true multiplication equation and one false division equation. Use whole numbers in both.
