This week I asked students to compare and contrast the terms equation and expression. We worked all week with these two words and I wanted to check for understanding of this vocabulary. Here is what Nathaniel D. said:
The difference between equation and expression is that an equation has an equal sign. An expression does not have an equal sign. The things that are the same about the two are that they both can be number sentences and they both can have some type of operation. Those are the similarities and differences between an equation and expression. Examples: 5+5 (expression) 5+5=10 (equation)
