BE3715 Penguin Math Balance
LEVEL 1
LEARNING GOALS
Before you start, make sure your child has a basic understanding of weight and has noticed the numbers on the fish. This level focuses on building your child’s knowledge of weight improving their number recognition skills, and developing their counting skills.
GOT THE HANG OF IT?
SWITCH IT UP!
Place a big fish on one tray, point out its number, and ask your child how
many smaill fish should go on the other tray. As your child places the small
fish on the tray, ask them to count aloud.
GAMEPLAY
Place a big fish on a fray and turn it around so the number isn’t visible. Then, have your kiddo guess how many small fish should go on the other fray.
Let’s find out how heavy these fish are!
Recreate these patterns on your scale with small fish on one tray, and a big
fish on the other.
LEVEL 2
LEARNING GOALS
To set your child up for success, complete Level 1 and make sure they’re
familiar with the numbers on the fish before starting. This level will
introduce them to basic arithmetic and aims to deepen their understanding of
weight.
GONE THROUGH ALL THE PATTERNS?
Try building your own! Draw out different patterns on a piece of paper and
have your kiddo recreate them.
GAMEPLAY
How many ways can you keep the scale balanced? Place a combination of fish on
one tray, then find different fish combinations of equal weight to place on
the other tray. Try fo find as many combinations as you can!
These friendly fish love swimming with friends! Recreate these patterns on your scale and explain to your child that the two trays p are balanced because they’re the same weight.
LEVEL 3
LEARNING GOALS
Complete levels 1 and 2 before starting this level—your child will need to apply their number recognition skills and knowledge of weight here. This level aims to develop their memory skills and teach them more advanced arithmetic.
GAMEPLAY
Place the squid, starfish, 1 small fish, and 1 big fish on a tray. Find a
combination of fish of equal weight and place it on the other tray—how many
different combinations can you find?
Place the squid on one tray and the starfish on the other. Balance the scale
by adding fish to the trays.
Place both the starfish and squid on one tray. How will you balance the scale?
No one in the ocean knows how much the starfish and squid weigh! Place the squid on one tray, then put as many small fish as you need on the other fray to make it balanced. Do the same with the starfish, then try to solve the other equations! How many smalll fish will you need to balance…

Is an apple or banana heavier? Try using this toy with household objects! Give
your child two objects, ask them to hold one in each hand, then guess which is
heavier. Once they’ve guessed, ask them to put the objects on the scale to
find out if they were right! Place an object on one of the scale’s trays. Ask
your child to find a combination of fish to balance the scale.
