Teachables Wooden Pan Scale & Fraction Blocks - Outdoor Learning Kit

Combine hands-on outdoor learning with fraction exploration in this exciting kit! The Wooden Outdoor Pan Scale (TEB6265) brings measurement and weight concepts into the great outdoors, made from sustainable eucalyptus wood. The accompanying Wooden Weighted Fraction Blocks (TEB6266) allow students to explore fractions in a tactile way while measuring the weight of different objects. Students can compare fractions while practising with mass inquiries using the balance scale. The scale measures 65cm in height with a base of 65 x 22cm and an arm length of 65cm, while the fraction blocks range in size, with the largest block measuring 8 x 8 x 4cm.

Educational Benefits:

• Encourages exploration of weight, mass, and balance concepts using real-world objects and wooden fraction blocks.
• Helps students understand fractions and their relationships through weight comparisons (e.g., 1/1 block is twice as heavy as the 1/2 block).
• Promotes outdoor learning, making math lessons engaging and interactive by connecting with the environment.
• Supports critical thinking and problem-solving as students conduct experiments and make calculations involving weight and fractions.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the outdoor pan scale and fraction blocks to demonstrate how weight changes with different fractions.
• Set challenges for students to balance objects of various weights while also incorporating fraction blocks to compare and solve fraction problems.
• Integrate outdoor classroom activities to discuss the concept of mass while reinforcing fraction concepts in a fun and engaging way.
• Have students experiment with balancing natural objects found outdoors alongside the weighted fraction blocks to explore both weight and fraction concepts simultaneously.
