Weighted Pairs

Support early maths and scientific thinking with this hands-on Weighted Pairs Set, designed for classrooms, early learning centres, and investigation spaces. Featuring durable plastic weights that are easy for little hands to manage, this set helps children explore balance, equality, and comparison through meaningful, play-based learning.

Each pair of weights is equally weighted, allowing children to see and feel what balance looks like in action. When used alongside scales, learners can experiment with matching pairs, compare outcomes, and begin to understand key concepts such as equal, heavier, lighter, and balanced in a concrete, visual way.

Why Educators Love Them:

• Introduces early maths and STEM concepts through hands-on exploration

• Clearly demonstrates balance and equality using matching weight pairs

• Durable plastic weights designed for frequent classroom use

• Encourages reasoning, prediction, and mathematical language

• Ideal companion resource for balance scales and measurement activities

How to Use Them:

• Pair matching weights on scales to demonstrate balance and equality

• Mix and compare weights to explore heavier and lighter concepts

• Encourage prediction: “Which side will go down and why?”

• Use in small-group maths activities or STEM learning stations

• Combine with the Scales Set (#65498) for extended learning opportunities
