The students began learning about 5 as an anchor number and created numbers greater than 5 by using a 5-frame. They then tried to create an equation using the appropriate symbols + and =. I encouraged the students to "read" their equation. It's important to note that the students are gaining experiences with the sum on both the left and right side of the equation. Too often, students see the sum on the right side of the equation and begin to mistakenly think that the = means "the answer." It's important to stress that = means "is the same as," and we will continue to work on this throughout the year.
