Math Activeness Thursday: Balancing.

Welcome to MaTh activity Thursday!

I idea it would hold upward fun to induce got a ship service near balancing.  Ever since I was little, I liked to residuum on i human foot or residuum on anything narrow (as long as it wasn't also high off the ground--I'm a fleck scared of heights).  I also liked helping induce got groceries into the household in addition to it e'er seemed easier amongst bags inward each hand.  Well, it turns out that balancing has to produce amongst math too.

Do yous recall those sometime type of scales similar this...

For a fun balancing activity yous tin ship away induce got kids hold upward the scale!

  • Get ii bags or baskets to tally inward each hand.
  • Have the tike unopen his or her eyes in addition to hold upward prepared amongst handfuls of as weighted objects (like oranges or potatoes) to position inward their bags/baskets.
  • Can the tike say which i is heavier or if they are equal?
  • Write what they are asset as an equation on a board.  If yous position i inward i pocketbook in addition to iii inward the other it doesn't experience equal 1 < 3.  But if yous add together ii to the one, at i time they are equal (1+2=3).
  • Then induce got the tike selection an equation to human activity out.  For representative 4-2= 6-4

I'd honey to take away heed how your balancing human activity goes!
