edxeducation Student Math Balance, Includes 20 Weights

This math balance is a very helpful tool for introducing addition, subtraction, and simple equations in a concrete way. Instead of just solving problems on paper, children can physically add weights and see how numbers balance out. The included weights are easy to handle and clearly marked, which makes number recognition and basic operations more intuitive. It’s especially useful for kids who benefit from visual and hands-on learning. The scale feels sturdy enough for regular use, and it keeps math practice engaging instead of repetitive. A solid choice for reinforcing early number concepts at home or in the classroom.

I was really nervous buying this because the other reviews kept mentioning how small it was and I was concerned it would be like some palm of the hand size type. I couldn't afford the more expensive Math Balance and I'm sure there are better quality and bigger ones but this one is actually a pretty good size in my opinion. Not so big that I'm in a wonderment of where to store it without breaking it down everytime and not so small that it's useless. I think it's great for our homeschool set up and although my son says it's smaller than his cousin's, he still thinks it's pretty cool and is currently playing with it and figuring out how it works :) Quality wise I think it's just fine also. I feel like this math balance met my expectations and at a great price too.

Very pleased with it. Has been great fun for my 5 year old to make up her own math questions and test her idea of the answers. I like that numbers and hanging posts are on both sides. Would like the storage section at the bottom to offer some sort of protection from spill if tipped, but idk what what would be. Came with small clips to help to balance it perfect which I found unnecessary and they actually shifted making it unbalanced.

Great quality for the price. I was worried it wouldn’t be as strong as the brand one, but it works great for my children and their math lessons! It’s also not too big and bulky to store.

One of the pegs broke off which puts the scale out of balance. I added some white plastic weights to balance it out, but I really don't want to pay for shipping to return it. I just don't think that it's worth it.

Great Montessori learning

Love the small size of this scale. It assembled easily and stores fine on our shelf ready to use when needed. I am homeschooling two 1st graders and a preschooler. This scale has been used for math. I also took the advice of another reviewer and added cups to the scale to turn it into a balance. Both the preschooler and the 1st graders have used the scale on many occasions with the cups to compare the weights of objects (like marbles), or play with pumpkin seeds when cleaning out pumpkins for science experiments etc... For us this scale is a perfect manipulative given the size and for the price! Only negative is I did tape the little balancing slides/levels/tare pieces (whatever they are called) in place as they were always sliding on their own and throwing the balance off when doing math.

Great buy!

Su tamaño es más manejable y el material está bien construido, voy a buscar más, pero más adelante

Great learning tool for kids

It’s ok it does what I needed but I wished I’d gone for the original more expensive well known learning scale

Es una excelente herramienta de enseñanza de operaciones simples. Aunque a los niños no les impresiona mucho.

Me encantó
