A sum is the answer you get when you add two or more numbers together. In 3 + 4 = 7, the number 7 is the sum.

6 + 2 → sum 8

4 + 1 = 5

Both sides of = must be the same amount. Story: you pick 6 flowers and 3 more. Write 6 + 3 = 9.

What does = mean?

The equal sign (=) means “the same as.” It tells you that the amount on the left side is the same as the amount on the right side.

3 + 4 = 6 + 1

The left is 7, the right is 7. Both match. The equation is true. Read = as “the same as.”
