Number Equaliser Balance

The Number Equaliser Balance is a versatile tool designed to help students visually explore number relationships such as equal to (=), greater than (>), and less than (<). It allows children to engage in hands-on learning of addition, subtraction, and basic multiplication through the use of weights on the balance beam. By placing weights on the pegs, students can see how different values compare and learn to balance equations physically. This interactive approach makes it easier for children to grasp abstract mathematical concepts. The set includes 20 pieces of 10g weights, providing ample opportunity to practise a variety of mathematical operations. Whether used for simple number comparisons or more advanced calculations, the Number Equaliser Balance enhances understanding through visualisation and tactile involvement. The balance measures 65.5 x 7 x 19.5 cm in height, making it a practical addition to any classroom. Colours may vary, and the set is suitable for children aged 4+ years, making it an excellent tool for early mathematical development.

Educational Benefits:

• Helps children visually understand and compare number relationships, reinforcing the concepts of equality and inequality.
• Encourages hands-on exploration of basic addition, subtraction, and multiplication through interactive play.
• Improves problem-solving and logical thinking by balancing weights and equations.
• Develops spatial reasoning and an understanding of weight and balance in mathematical contexts.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the balance to demonstrate number relationships and practice comparing numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to.
• Incorporate the balance into addition and subtraction exercises by balancing weights to represent simple equations.
• Extend learning by using the balance to model basic multiplication problems, adding or removing weights to match the product.
• Challenge students to create their own balance equations and test their solutions using the equaliser balance.
