Demonstrate and explain the meaning of preservation of equality concretely, pictorially and symbolically. • Achievement Indicators - Model the preservation of equality for addition using concrete materials, such as a balance or using pictorial representations and orally explain the process. - Model the preservation of equality for subtraction using concrete materials, such as a balance or using pictorial representations and orally explain the process. - Model the preservation of equality for multiplication using concrete materials, such as a balance or using pictorial representations and orally explain the process. - Model the preservation of equality for division using concrete materials, such as a balance or using pictorial representations and orally explain the process. - Write equivalent forms of a given equation by applying the preservation of equality and verify using concrete materials, e.g., 3b = 12 is the same as 3b + 5 = 12 + 5 or 2r = 7 is the same as 3(2r) = 3(7).
