ELC Weighing Scales

Children can learn all about sums and counting with these Early Learning Centre Weighing Scales.

Let’s do maths! Children can set the scales on a flat service, then hook a number to one side of the scale. They can then work out what numbers they need to add up to that amount. When the scales balance, the answer is correct.

• Work out sums and all about balance with this fun set
• Add a number to one side and then work out the sum: for example if you add a 10 to the left side of the scale then add a 7 and 3 to the right hand side the scale will balance to show you have the correct answer
• Great for early numeracy skills
• Includes two sets of numbers from 1 to 6 and 1 set of numbers from 7 to 10

Links to Theorists:

• This learning experience can be linked to Vygotsky’s theories. He believes that language, literacy and numeracy skills should be ‘scaffolded’ by adults or more skilled peers. Their understandings in these areas were deepened and enriched.
