3.PAR.3.4 worksheets: use the equal sign to decide whether expressions are equivalent

The standard

Use the meaning of the equal sign to determine whether expressions involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication are equivalent.

Element 3.PAR.3.4 of Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards (2021, effective SY2023-24), in the Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning strand. It sits under standard 3.PAR.3: Use part-whole strategies to solve real-life, mathematical problems involving multiplication and division with whole numbers within 100.

What students practice

One page finds the value of each side and circles true or false; the next writes the number that makes both sides equal. Expressions use addition, subtraction, and multiplication within 100, and the Mixed Review returns to both kinds.

Where to find it

Strategy Spotlight from Two-Step Problems and Time, page 10

Think: 4 × 5 is 20 and 10 + 10 is 20, so 4 × 5 = 10 + 10 is true.
