What educators are saying

My students loved using this center and real materials to measure using the balance scale! Make sure to check it out to make sure that you have all materials on hand, but I love that there are different choices!
I love how this resource allows students to explore the scale using different resources. I appreciate the color coded tasks so students are able to focus on their own set of tasks.

Description

Use common classroom items to engage students in real world measurement with this fun math center & worksheets! They will compare the weight of glue bottles, pencils, erasers, tissue boxes & more with balance scales, then record the results. There are 4 sets of measurement cards (total of 28), so you can have many students working at once. Develop concepts of more than, less than, heavier and lighter with this fun math activity!
