{"product_id":"eco-wood-abacus-number-and-arithmetic-balance","title":"Eco-Wood Abacus - Number and Arithmetic Balance","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Eco-Wood Number and Arithmetic Balance provides a hands-on way for students to explore number relationships, arithmetic and mathematical equivalence through visual balance activities. The T-shaped balance features numbered positions from 1–10 on either side of the pivot point, allowing students to attach hanging plates and physically demonstrate how different number combinations can create equal values. Multiple plates can be placed on each hook, extending activities to calculations within the number range to 100. Made from 100% recycled, PEFC-certified Eco-Wood, the balance also provides a more sustainable option for everyday maths learning. A two-part beam makes the resource easy to dismantle and store between lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplications and Use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e • Demonstrate addition and subtraction using visual and hands-on balance activities.\u003cbr\u003e • Explore number relationships and equivalent values within the number range to 100.\u003cbr\u003e • Investigate number bonds to 10, 20, 50 and 100.\u003cbr\u003e • Challenge students to find different number combinations that balance equally on both sides.\u003cbr\u003e • Explore greater than, less than and equal to concepts by comparing values on the balance.\u003cbr\u003e • Incorporate into maths rotations, small-group activities and collaborative problem-solving tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e • T-shaped arithmetic balance provides a visual and tactile approach to exploring number concepts.\u003cbr\u003e • Numbered positions from 1–10 on each side of the pivot help students visualise mathematical relationships.\u003cbr\u003e • 40 hooks across the front and back provide multiple options for attaching hanging plates.\u003cbr\u003e • More than one plate can be attached to each hook for exploring calculations up to 100.\u003cbr\u003e • Two-part beam can be dismantled for convenient classroom storage.\u003cbr\u003e • Made from Eco-Wood containing 100% recycled materials.\u003cbr\u003e • PEFC certified and recyclable after use.\u003cbr\u003e • Supplied with instructions for classroom activities and exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e • \u003cb\u003eAssembled Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 29 cm × 10 cm × 3.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003ePackaging Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 cm × 16 cm × 3 cm\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003ePackaged Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.135 kg\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Eco-Wood made from 100% recycled materials\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eCertification:\u003c\/b\u003e PEFC certified\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eNumber Range:\u003c\/b\u003e Activities up to 100\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eHooks:\u003c\/b\u003e 40 hooks across the front and back\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eNumber Labels:\u003c\/b\u003e 1–10 from the pivot point on each side\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cb\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/b\u003e 6+ years\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKit Includes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e • 1 x Eco-Wood Number and Arithmetic Balance\u003cbr\u003e • 22 x Hanging Plates\u003cbr\u003e • 1 x Set of Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608812548467,"sku":"TEB6358","price":5.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/3605\/files\/teb6358.jpg?v=1775007998","url":"https:\/\/www.elizabethrichards.com.au\/products\/eco-wood-abacus-number-and-arithmetic-balance","provider":"Elizabeth Richards Pty Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
