"The gold ball and the 3 silver balls are even because it is not tipping. They are the same weight." - T. Show

Great thinking, Tyris! We can even write that as an equation!
1 Large Gold Ball = Large Black Ball + Medium Black Ball + Small Black Ball.

The gold ball is = to the silver balls because the scale was straight.

Great thinking, Julianna! So the three silver balls together have the same value as the one gold ball.

There are 4 balls on the scale. there are 3 silver balls and 1 gold ball.That is 1 ball+3 balls=4 balls.The scale is balanced which means that the gold ball's weight is equal to the three silver ball's weight.

The scale is balanced. The gold ball weighs as much as the silver balls.

I see 4 Silver Balls,1 Gold ball, and 1 Silver Rectangle.

Great job, Lia! You saw so much geometry. I have a new word for you. The math word for a ball is a sphere. Keep up the great thinking!

The gold ball probably weighs as much as the three silver balls.

Great job, Emma! The gold ball does weigh the same as the three silver balls together! I love your thinking! And your emojis too. :)

They are all equal because it’s not tipping to one side.

3 silver balls = 1 gold ball

Great job, Grady! You were so efficient in your explanation by using the equal sign. Yay for math symbols! :)

The gold ball is equal to the three silver balls. I know this because the scale is balanced and not uneven.

The gold ball and the 3 silver balls are equal because the scale is balanced.

I wonder if the three silver balls weigh the same amount as the gold ball

I can see that 1 gold ball is equal to 3 three silver balls.
