> Equal is defined as, “being the same in quantity, size, degree, or value.” Whereas equivalent is defined as, “equal in value, amount, function, or meaning.” Nonsense. By those definitions, equality is a special case of equivalence - one that simply neglects to strongly emphasize function (which could be taken as value; the latter still doesn't mean 'identical'). 5 x 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
and
5 x 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 are both numerically equal and functionally equivalent. The student at least understands the commutative property of multiplication, unlike the teacher. |
