Water Fun and Scale Building
Thursday's SEBMath assignment was to measure cups and bowls of water to get accustomed to the concepts of holding more or less. Jewel had a great time counting and pouring water into various sized bowls.
Then yesterday the assignment was to use a balance scale to learn the concepts of weighs more or less. We don't have a balance scale, so we built one.
Cool scale. I actually needed something like this for my first grader when we were measuring. Instead I used a ruler balanced on a coil binder. I will definitely have my kids make one of these.

Thanks for visiting!
I love that! The scale is great! And playing with water is a blast for the little ones.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Have a blessed week!
How impressive! I would have never thought to make a scale with my four year old.
