Balancing Act (Classic Board Books)

I have used this book along with a weight scale to talk about things being heavier, lighter, or equal weight. My preschoolers really get into it. The book isn't too long which is nice for my attention span of my students.

Fun book and great for math

Kids need books like this to know that all books aren't just about cute stories. Sometimes those stories can be teaching them something as well. This job does a great job teaching them about the concept of balance and equality in math.

Love this book! Used with my Kindergarten class to teach measuring. They can easily relate to it and they find it funny too! They loved the authors other book Mouse Count so I knew they would love this one too!

The kids in my classroom loved this when talking about the equal sign!

Very simple wording. Direct and to the point. Short story. Nice graphics. I think students will grasp the point very easily. It will be good for reviewing or introducing balance to lower elementary.

Great book; excellent book.

Very sweet addition to Walsh's series of Mouse books. Offers an introduction to the concept of balance to young children.

Content is good and really useful to introduce the concept of balance. I was just a little disappointed that it was such a small book- but completely my mistake as I had not looked at the dimensions, simply expecting that it would be the same size as the paperback versions I have of the other titles in this series.

Great for visualising and contextualising an understanding of equality and inequality in maths.

works well as a math read loud in my kindergaten classroom.
