Using Symbols

  1. Fill in the boxes to make the following sentences true:
    1. 4 + 4 = 4
    2. 5 + 5 + 5 = 5
    3. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 2
    4. 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 4
    5. + 6 = 2 6
    6. 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 9

  2. Tell whether the number sentences are true or false. If they are false, rewrite them so they are true.
    1. 3 4 = 4 + 4 + 4
    2. 4 3 = 3 + 3 + 3
    3. 3 4 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
