	Homeschool World: Practical Homeschooling Articles: The Equal Sign - Symbol, Name, Meaning
		Of course, the name of the symbol is "the equal sign," or "equals," and it is valuable to know how to verbalize or say the proper words for a symbol such as this.
		Sometimes, we can also say that "equals" means "is the same value as," such as when we say correctly that "1 dollar = 4 quarters." It is not quite correct to say that "1 dollar is 4 quarters," since it is not true that 1 piece of paper is 4 round pieces of metal.
		In summary, the equal sign means either simply is or simply is the same value as.

	ASCD
		The equal sign is an important mathematical symbol that represents a variety of interpretations depending upon the way it is taught to students.
		Even so, the equal sign appeared in the operations-on-both-sides context only 5 percent of the time (on average across grades), with a maximum of 9 percent (in one of the grade 8 texts).
		Students were more likely to attach a relational interpretation to the equal sign when viewing the nonstandard equations, and students viewing the nonstandard presentations (right-side or reflexive) were equally likely to interpret the sign as a symbol of relational equivalence.

	Diagnostic Algebra Assessment (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rather than understanding that the equal sign indicates equivalence between the expressions on the left side and the right side of an equation, students interpret the equal sign as meaning “do something” or the sign before the answer.
		Treat the equal sign as a command to do something, thus fill in a blank or variable to the right of the equal sign with the completed operation from the left hand side of the equation.
		This misconception differs from the equality symbol misconception in that Redistribution and Switching Addends involves adding or subtracting different numbers from each side of the equal sign, whereas the Equality Misconception focuses on not understanding the both sides must be equal and treating the equal sign as a command to "do something."

		According to VNR Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics, Emeritus, Caltech, the equal sign was invented by Robert Recorde, the Royal Court Physican for England's King Richard VI and Queen Mary.

		Nor is it a balance scale confirming that two items you suspected were nearly equal really are the same.
		The book he wrote didn't make his fortune, so in the next decade he tried again, this time with a symbol, which probably had roots in old logic texts, that he was sure would take off.
		It doesn't seem that Recorde gained from his innovation, for it remained in bitter competition with the equally plausible "//" and even with the bizarre "[;" symbol, which the powerful German printing houses were trying to promote.
