Skills to be developed with Monkey Scale

A Visual Way to Learn Addition

Watch your child explore the idea of “making numbers” with this clever balance game. It’s a great introduction to interactive addition games that show how numbers relate to one another in real time.
Encourages Logical Thinking and Fine Motor Skills

As children experiment with combinations, they’ll strengthen early critical thinking while improving hand-eye coordination and dexterity - key developmental milestones for preschoolers.
Builds Number Confidence Through Play

Using weighted numbers to physically build sums helps children feel what numbers mean. It’s a confidence-boosting way to develop early numeracy before formal schooling begins.

How to Use Monkey Scale

Use basic addition to balance the scale. For example, place the number 7 on one side, and balance the scale by placing either 6 + 1, 5 + 2 or 4 + 3 on the other side.
As children gain more confidence, you can make the activity more challenging - for example: making 6 with 3, 2 and 1.
See how many combinations of each number (1 to 9) can be made - demonstrate and explore all the number combinations that numbers consist of. For example, 0 + 3 = 3, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 0 = 3.
Create other fun games and challenges that explore basic number concepts. For example, put all the numbers in a bag, and let your child pick a number without looking – ask your child what the number is and have them collect the same amount of objects for example pompoms or small stones from your garden.
