What children learn in Level 46
- The equal sign means "the same as." It doesn't mean "write the answer next."
- Is 3 × 4 = 6 + 6 true? 3 × 4 is 12, and 6 + 6 is 12. Both sides are the same, so it's true!
- Is 5 × 2 = 12 − 3 true? 5 × 2 is 10, but 12 − 3 is 9. They're not the same, so it's false.
- The answer can be on either side: 12 = 3 × 4 is true too.
