Balance Mathematical (Product Code: SLE/MAT/05) is a number balance used to teach number relationships, equations and the properties of arithmetic in a concrete way in primary and middle-school maths classes. The set includes an 8.5 inch tall balance and twenty 10 g weights, so students can test whether two sides are equal simply by watching the beam level. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Many pupils read the equals sign as "the answer comes next". A number balance changes that idea: three weights and four weights on one side balance seven weights on the other, so equality becomes something they can see. Swapping the order of the weights and finding that the beam still levels makes the commutative property concrete.
Missing-number problems follow naturally. Put five weights on one side and two on the other, then ask how many must be added to level the beam; writing it as x + 2 = 5 is the first step into algebraic equations. Check that the empty balance sits level before each activity, and keep the weights counted back into their set after class. It is a simple piece of mathematics lab equipment for group tables.
Balance Mathematical is one of the maths teaching aids that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, makes as the original equipment manufacturer at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and dealers buying it therefore deal with the producer, not an intermediary, and requests for extra weights or repeat class sets are answered by the maker — ask us for what you need.

What is included in the Balance Mathematical set?
The Balance Mathematical set includes an 8.5 inch tall balance and twenty 10 g weights. That is enough for a small group to build and compare number sentences on both sides of the beam.
How does Balance Mathematical help teach equations?
Balance Mathematical shows an equation as two sides that must level. Students add weights until the beam balances, then write what they did as a number sentence, which leads directly to solving simple algebraic equations.
Which properties of arithmetic can be shown with Balance Mathematical?
With Balance Mathematical, students can show that changing the order of addition does not change the total, that equal additions to both sides keep the balance level, and how missing numbers are found by balancing.
Is Balance Mathematical meant for weighing classroom objects?
Balance Mathematical is intended to teach number relationships with its matching 10 g weights. For comparing the mass of everyday objects, the Balance Simple Beam or Balance Rocker Bucket from the same range is the better choice.
Who manufactures Balance Mathematical?
Balance Mathematical is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied directly to schools, dealers and importers.
Can Balance Mathematical be ordered in class quantities or for export?
