Interactive math balance scale. Predict the number of blocks you need to equal the weight of one bag and then test your theory. Each shape is assigned a certain weight. Our ad free virtual manipulatives are a great way to enhance at home learning. Replicate the given equation by moving the blocks of x and 1 to the sides of the balance scale.

Then use addition subtraction multiplication and division to each side to solve for x. Try to find equivalent sets of shapes by places shapes on each side of the. Instructions begin by choosing a set from the top menu. Free to use browser based manipulatives.

Simply drag the manipulatives into position to see math concepts come alive. Online manipulatives allow students to show their thinking in a whole group mini lesson before guided math small groups begin a great scaffold for students who struggle but still want to share their math thinking. Solve simple linear equations using a balance beam representation. Use logic and mass to find the heaviest object.

Random creates a new set every time you choose it. This interactive exercise focuses on using critical thinking skills to add and subtract items on the scales to achieve balance and visual problem solving. Interactive online activity this interactive activity from bbc shows how simple equations can be solved using a balance beam scale. For these students it is difficult to understand equations such as 11 4 7 or 3 5 17 2.

For a siingle x type 1 as the coefficient. This interactive is optimized for your desktop and tablet. It has a short introductory video followed by some equations questions that we can try doing ourselves. Try to find equivalent sets of shapes by places shapes on each side of the.
