Remember: The equal sign means "the same as" — not just "the answer comes next"!

⚖️ Part 1: True or False?

Decide whether each number sentence is TRUE or FALSE. Circle your answer.

1.   5 + 4 = 4 + 5

TRUE

FALSE

2.   8 − 3 = 2 + 3

TRUE

FALSE

3.   12 + 6 = 20 − 4

TRUE

FALSE

4.   100 − 25 = 50 + 25

TRUE

FALSE

5.   999,999 − 100,000 = 899,999

TRUE

FALSE

🔍 Part 2: Find the Missing Number

Use inverse operations or place value thinking to find the missing number. Write it in the blank.

6.   8 + _____ = 13

Hint: What do you add to 8 to get 13?

7.   _____ + 345 = 1,000
8.   5,000 − _____ = 3,250
9.   999,999 − _____ = 899,999
10.   674 + 56 − _____ = 671

🎯 Part 3: Match It!

Draw a line to match each open number sentence on the left to its missing number on the right.

__ + 50 = 120
200 − __ = 150
__ − 30 = 70
300 + __ = 475
175
70
100
50
💬 Bonus: In your own words, what does the equal sign mean?
