Grade 1 - Equivalence Unit

1.5E

Understand that the equal sign represents a relationship where expressions on each side of the equal sign represent the same value(s).

The Equivalence Unit involves understanding the meaning of the equal sign in order to answer questions such as:

If I have 5 red counters and 4 yellow counters on one side of the equal sign, how many yellow counters must I put with two red counters to equal the number of counters on the other side of the equal sign?
If I have 7 on this side of the equal sign, what numbers cans I put on the other side of the equal sign to make a true statement?
