Balance Beans is a fun-filled logic and math game all in one. It’s a great introduction to elementary algebra. This game challenges kids to place bean tokens with various weights on a seesaw so that it will balance. When kids balance the seesaw, they are actually balancing an equation! As the challenges get harder, they will rely less on trial and error – and more on math and reasoning skills. .
Object of the Game:
Balance the Seesaw by adding the Beans shown on the Challenge Card to the Balance Tray.
How to Play:
Assemble the balance tray on to the base. Select a challenge card. Set the indicated red beans as shown on the challenge card on the balance tray. Add the rest of the beans as indicated.
