Description

Helping students understand the equal sign and balanced equations can be tricky business. They need plenty of practice to help them grasp it. The fun digital Google Slides™ activity is one way to do this! Included are 3 interactive activities that your first grade students will enjoy during math centers or stations.

The 3 activities are:

  • 10 slides- students will drag a star with TRUE or FALSE to the box to show whether the equation is balanced or not
  • 10 slides- students will drag a star to the box to indicate the correctly balanced equation
  • 10 slides- students will drag the rocket number to the box to correctly balance the equation

This product should be used in the VIEW mode in google slides. The pieces are movable and they won't move if they aren't in the VIEW mode.

This product is also available in BOOM LEARNING™ Digital Cards if you'd prefer that platform. CLICK HERE TO SEE THOSE.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false. For example, which of the following equations are true and which are false? 6 = 6, 7 = 8 - 1, 5 + 2 = 2 + 5, 4 + 1 = 5 + 2.
Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 + ? = 11, 5 = ▯ - 3, 6 + 6 = ▯.
