This product is intended to be used with a classroom balance. A balance is a scale that you can use by putting something you would like to measure on one side, and then using items on the other side to “balance” the scale. For example, if I want to know how many pennies heavy a box of crayons is, I can put the box of crayons on one side of the balance, and keep adding pennies to the other side until the scale is perfectly balanced!
This would be a great activity to do during a math center f
