About this app
Balance Scales and Equality is an interactive elementary math game that uses a two-pan balance to teach weight comparison, the meaning of the equals sign, and missing-number equations. Children adjust the number of weights with plus and minus controls, observe which side goes down or when the scale becomes level, and complete four missions in each of three activities.
Use cases
- Elementary students learning comparison and equality
- Second-grade learners practicing addition and missing numbers
- Parents looking for a visual math activity at home
- Teachers introducing the meaning of the equals sign
Features
- Compare left and right weights using a visual balance scale
- Complete missions to make one side heavier, equal, or heavier by exactly three
- Balance addition equations including 5 + 3, 4 + 6, 7 + 7, and 2 + 9
- Solve missing-number equations such as □ + 3 = 8 and □ + 2 = 12
- Use plus and minus controls to adjust weights and reset or advance missions
