standard_description: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
problem_activity: Task
Decide if the equations are true or false. Explain your answer.
4 x 5 = 20
34 = 7 x 5
3 x 6 = 9 x 2
5 x 8 = 10 x 4
6 x 9 = 5 x 10
2 x (3 x 4) = 8 x 3
8 x 6 = 7 x 6 + 6
4 x (10 + 2) = 40 + 2
