This document provides examples of math word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It asks students to determine the missing numbers or values needed to make equations with the equal sign balanced. The learning objective is for students to understand the importance of the equal sign in balancing mathematical equations. Students are asked to create their own balancing questions and assess their confidence in balancing equations with and without parentheses.

16. LO: to know about the importance of the = in balancing questions

17. What is the missing number? 8 x 2 = 14 + ?

18. 8 x 2 = 14 + 2

19. What number is a? 48 ÷ 4 = 3 x a 3 4 5

20. What number is a? 48 ÷ 4 = 3 x a 3 4 5

21. Yes or No 120 x 4 = 480 ÷ 4 Is this balanced?

22. Yes or No 120 x 4 = 480 ÷ 4 480 = 120 Is this balanced? NO

23. Yes or No 32 + 8 = 60 -20 Is this balanced?

24. Yes or No 32 + 8 = 60 -20 40 = 40 Is this balanced? YES

25. Does this look confusing? 20x2 ÷4x5 = 39+60-9+82 Yes or No?

26. Yes or No (20x2) ÷ (4x5) = (39+60)-(9+88) Is this balanced?

27. Yes or No (20x2) ÷ (4x5) =(39+60)-(9+88) 40 ÷ 20= 99 – 97 2= 2 Is this balanced? YES
