It’s a fun way of experimenting with:
- quantity
- balance
- multiplication
In reality it’s actually a concrete representation of balancing an equation. I always found that pretty baffling on paper when doing algebra at school but, when you actually play with equations in this way, it makes so much sense! Oh, that I had had such a game as this when I was young!
How to play
- Set up the Red Beans according to the Challenge Card.
- Then carefully place the colorful Beans on the Seesaw to balance it.
- Every Challenge card has a solution on the back, but it’s not the only solution.
- There are 40 challenge cards graded in difficulty from simple to medium, hard and super hard
What your child will learn
- To succeed by trial and error initially by experimenting
- Reasoning and logic skills
