Tips & ideas
Incorporating a set of scales into the learning environment encourages children to explore and experiment the mathematical concepts of weight differentiation and balance. Depending on what is being weighed, children can also create a link between quantity and weight.
Having scales readily available supports scientific inquiry as children investigate the properties of found objects, inspiring a variety of research methods as children learn about their environment.
