Picking and placing wooden rings onto the Balancing Rainbow is fascinating and the mathematics at play is very interesting too. Using this resource, the children will gain an insight into balance, symmetry and turning forces. The further the weight is placed away from the central balance point (fulcrum) the greater the turning force it exerts. So, placing different numbers of rings onto either end of the balance will provide interest and fascination to the children using it. When selecting pieces, children will be making choices, counting pieces and selecting colours as well as using mathematical language and developing their fine motor and coordination skills. An excellent mathematical puzzle for use by a single child or two children together. Can the rainbow be made to balance (level) when there are different numbers of pieces on either end of it?

• Made from birch ply and European beech
• 16 coloured rings to select from (4 sets of 4 different colours)
• Colourful and interesting maths resource
• Great for developing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
• For one child or two trying to make it balance one piece at a time

Measures 30cmW x 8cmD x 12cmH.

Put on your captain's hat and sunscreen, select a ship and fill your litre container with water, sand or rice. You are now ready to set sail for the lighthouse but you must be very alert. This sea journey has many obstacles. Each time you land on an anchor you will be instructed to measure and to remove between 100mls and 400mls from your one litre container. Any Captain whose container is empty before his/her ship reaches the lighthouse will be presumed... lost at sea!! This is a bright and inviting game designed to help children develop their skills of estimation, recording, comparing and measuring whilst gaining a firm understanding of the capacity and volume of one litre. Players can also practise making graphic representation by recording their voyages using 1cm cubes on the 'fuel tanks' printed on the mat. (1 cube equals 100mls).
