Equality is one of the essential understandings that students must acquire as they learn mathematics. This is a quest that begins in grade Primary and continues into senior high school. Learn how this big idea unfolds from grades Primary to 3 and discover how this one big idea can set students up for ongoing mathematical success. Topics explored during this webinar will include equality as balance; how equality is tied to partitioning and part-whole reasoning; common misconceptions about equality; and the types of tasks that build the concept of equality.
