equals or is

3+3=6

For this, is it better to say

1- Three plus three equals six.
or
2- Three plus three is six.

I know both are right but which one is used at schools.

 

[MikeNewYork]

In my experience, both are used.

 

[Tdol]

Both are fine, but I think is would be more common in BrE.

 

[Barb_D]

I think "is" is more common here too.

Thank you very much.
