=
This is an equal sign. When you see this sign, it means whatever comes before it and after it must have be the same value.
A balanced equation is when there is a math problem on the left and right side of the ‘=’ sign and they share the same answer.
Let’s look at this example:
3 x 2 = 9 – 3
This is a balanced equation because the math problem on the left and right side has the same answer (or value).
Two step instruction:
1. Find the answer to the complete math question (left or right).
2. Work out the missing number so they equal the same answer.
For this activity you must find the missing number to make a balanced equation. Please show your working.

How can I make sure I am successful?
* I am learning and practising basic greetings and commands in NZSL.
* I can understand why body and facial expression is important to sign language.
Activity description/steps:
New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is one of three official languages of Aotearoa New Zealand. As people who are deaf or hard or hearing come to have more people to communicate with, our society becomes more inclusive.
Watch the Youtube video and learn how to sign:
· How are you?
· I’m good.
· Good to meet you.
· I’m sorry.
· Please.
· Thank you.
Practice your sign language in front of a mirror so you can see what you look like. Once you are satisfied with your sign, record and submit a video of yourself on the class dojo or to your teacher.
Try and teach a member of your whānau what you have learned. If you have a whānau member who is an expert at NZSL try learning from them and share with your class.
Think about why body language and facial expression is important when you are communicating in sign language. Share your thoughts with the class.
Extras for early finishers: Learn and memorise how to spell your name in sign language using the NZSL alphabet chart.
