· Visualize early math concepts with hands-on 3-dimensional objects.
· The hands-on penguins and numerals allow the child to easily add to or take away from sets, or to rearrange.
· Combining kinesthetic and visual learning will help to reinforce the connections formed in the child's brain, increasing the odds of retaining the learning.
· Learn the concept of balance and the relative values of weights.
· Associating a numeral with weight reinforces the notion of sequential progression and allows for exploration of math operations.
· Practice predicting and experimenting.
· Develops fine motor dexterity.
· Promotes early math learning:o Weighto Countingo Additiono Subtractiono Multiplicationo Division
· Introduce other objects for further exploration of weights.
