Going up and down on a Seesaw is fun! With

Balance Beans, you’ll have even more fun trying

to keep your Beans balanced! Carefully place

the colorful Beans on the Seesaw to keep it

from teetering. When you balance the Seesaw,

you are actually balancing an equation. Even if

your Beans are going down, your logic skills will

keep going up!

CHALLENGE CARD:

SOLUTIONS:

Solutions are on the back of each card. Note

that a challenge may have more than one

solution. Without looking at the back of the

card, you will know you have won when the

Seesaw is balanced!

NOTE TO PARENTS:

Balance Beans is a great puzzle that is fun to

play–simply move the Beans around using trial

and error until you balance the Seesaw.

But wait… there’s more! Underlying the play here

is a fundamental principle of physics: the further

out a weight is from the center of balance, the

more downward force it exerts onto the Seesaw.

We have calibrated our balance so that a Single

Bean that rests on the second row from the

center of the Balance Tray will balance exactly

with two Beans on the rst row of the opposite

side; and one Bean on the third row from

the center of the Balance Tray will balance

exactly with three Beans on the rst row of

the opposite side.

This allows you to work together with your child

to solve Balance Beans challenges using math!

Elementary Algebra, to be specic.

Here is an example showing how to use math to

solve a Balance Beans challenge.

In this case, placing one Bean on the rst row

on the left side and one Bean on the second

row on the left side will balance the Seesaw

and solve the challenge!

Of course, it isn’t necessary to use algebra to

solve these challenges, but playing Balance

Beans is so much fun that your child will

welcome a little math with their playtime!
