math: using balance

I bought this plastic balance at Amazon. It is bigger than I expected. I am happy with that. It is supposed to be sensitive to 1 gram.

We used it this week to teach weight and math.We demonstrated to our children how to achieve balance by adding their favorite jelly beans on each side. Then we allowed them to eat one jelly bean at a time and observe how the balance being changed.
