Early Math Balance Scale | Plastic Classroom Measurement Tool with Removable Pans & Graduated Marks
Introduce foundational math and science concepts to your classroom with the Early Math Balance Scale, a durable, child-friendly tool designed to make learning measurement engaging and interactive. Built from sturdy plastic, this scale is perfectly sized for preschool and early elementary learners, measuring 21" wide by 10" high—large enough for group activities, yet lightweight and manageable for little hands.
The balance scale features two removable plastic pans, each with graduated measuring marks. These pans make it easy for children to compare, sort, and measure different objects while visually observing balance in action. Whether weighing classroom manipulatives, comparing sets of blocks, or exploring liquids with supervision, students gain a hands-on understanding of important math and STEM concepts like weight, volume, comparison, and equivalence.
Beyond measurement, the balance scale supports critical thinking, problem-solving, and observation skills. As children experiment, they practice making predictions, testing hypotheses, and drawing conclusions—building the foundation for early science exploration. The design encourages independent and collaborative play, making it suitable for math centers, small group instruction, or whole-class demonstrations.
Safe and easy to clean, this educational tool is recommended for children ages 3 years and up. With its durable construction and practical design, the Early Math Balance Scale is an essential addition to any early learning environment, helping educators bring abstract math and science concepts to life in a fun, tactile way.
