This week mathematicians worked with balances to study weight. We talked about how to tell which objects were heavier and which were lighter. We also tried to "weigh" objects using bears. For example, a ruler is as heavy as three bears. Mathematicians noticed that when weights were equal, the scales were perfectly horizontal. I was very impressed as I watched them discuss their thinking! I love when there is such an excitement and "buzz" around the room during math!
