15th January 2012 - Added 'Balance scales - add, move or remove a weight' a great starter activity which requires that you balance the scales by either adding a weight, moving a weight from one pan to another, or by removing a weight. Involves lots of problem solving skills and mental addition and subtraction strategies.
