Grade 1 Math Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the answer, or write the answer on the line.
True or false? 3 + 2 = 5
True or false? 7 = 3 + 5
True or false? 1 + 8 = 6 + 4
Which equation is true?
5 + 1 = 3 +
True or false? 8 - 5 = 3
True or false? 4 = 9 - 6
Which equation is true?
8 + = 3 + 6
True or false? 7 - 5 = 1 + 1
The equal sign means that two sides have the same value. Many first graders first meet it as a signal to write an answer, so equations such as 6 = 4 + 2 or 3 + 5 = 4 + 4 can look strange. This worksheet teaches children to compare both sides instead of reading left to right as a command. Items include number equals expression, expression equals expression, and false equations with near-miss totals.
Support pages use facts within ten. Standard and challenge pages include teen numbers and require more mental checking. Children may solve one side correctly and still forget to solve the other side, so the prompts ask them to decide and explain with values. Encourage a balance-scale idea: each side must weigh the same amount mathematically.

3 + 4 = 5 + 2 is true because both sides are 7.
