Title

Both sides mean the same amount

Written script

Let’s make something useful. Make a puzzle another person can check without guessing what the equals sign means. Today: Find an unknown when each side contains a calculation. Here is our made-up source. An invented display equation is 245+□=390+75. Find the box value and check both sides. What do the numbers count? You can show, draw, type, sign or tell an agreeing helper. We will try one way together, then you choose a task. For a fictional drawer 620−185=□+240: left 435, unknown 195, check 195+240=435. Invite the learner to compute the known side before undoing the other part. Your turn can be one useful part: Solve 128+□=200+47 and check the two sides. Keep, change, pause or finish. You do not have to read aloud, handle objects or hurry.
