Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

In this scales worksheet, students use addition, multiplication, and division to find out how much the shapes on the scales weigh. Students complete 8 problems total.

Use this virtual, double pan balance and explore what shapes and amounts of shape balance each other. Great introduction to beginning algebra concepts.
