What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
24 = 4 × 6 is true. The equal sign means "the same as".
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 24 = 4 × 6. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- Equal means the same as
- The answer can go first
- Work it out and compare
Helping at home
Read every equal sign as "is the same as", wherever the answer sits. Work out the side with the operation and check it matches the number on the other side.
If your kid gets stuck
Say "is the same as" for the equal sign.
Watch it with Lux
With Lux, this lesson is a narrated video and a printed page your kid works on. Then Lux helps with the same math on their own worksheet, one question at a time.
