Really really wonderful resource — recommend. Please make a paper version of the balance with weight cut out options. Otherwise you will probably want to buy the balance on Amazon.

Great practice with the symbolic representation of equality after hands on practice with balances. A bit challenging for my grade one students but would be perfect for higher grades.

I’ve been using this resource with my students who need the most support in math, and it’s made a big difference. The clear structure and visuals help break down equations in a way that feels approachable and manageable for them.
It’s been especially helpful for building confidence—students who typically struggle are now participating more and showing real understanding. I appreciate that it’s accessible without being overly simplified, which keeps them engaged and growing.
Highly recommend for any teacher looking for effective tools to support foundational math skills!
