Mobile Scale
Explore Early Maths Through Play with the Mobile Outdoor Scale. Beleduc’s Mobile Outdoor Scale is a hands-on, engaging way to introduce young children (ages 3+) to early maths concepts such as weight, balance, and volume.
With two transparent buckets, children can easily observe how different fill levels affect weight—making abstract concepts visible and understandable. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor learning, this classic measuring tool encourages exploration, prediction, and comparison through play.
Designed with mobility in mind, the integrated handle and sturdy wheels make it easy to move across your setting, whether in the classroom or on the playground. A durable and interactive resource that brings maths to life in early years environments.
Measures 58 x 61 x 77cm. Ages 3yrs+
Key Educational Benefits:
- Hands-On Exploration of Early Maths Concepts: Introduces fundamental ideas of weight, balance, and volume in a tangible, age-appropriate way. Encourages mathematical thinking through trial and error, prediction, and comparison.
- Visual Learning Through Transparent Buckets: Clear buckets allow children to see and compare the contents, making abstract maths concepts more concrete and understandable.
- Supports Scientific Thinking and Inquiry: Fosters curiosity and experimentation as children explore cause and effect, test hypotheses, and observe results.
- Promotes Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Engaging children in real-world scenarios helps develop their ability to reason, make decisions, and evaluate outcomes.
- Encourages Collaborative Play and Communication: Ideal for group activities, promoting teamwork, turn-taking, and discussion around observations and findings.
- Enhances Physical Development and Coordination: Lifting, filling, and transporting materials supports gross motor skills and coordination.
- Versatile for Indoor and Outdoor Learning: Weather-resistant design supports flexible use in different environments, enhancing experiential learning.
- Boosts Language and Vocabulary Development: Children are introduced to descriptive and comparative language (e.g., heavier, lighter, full, empty) in meaningful contexts.
- Mobility for Dynamic Learning Environments: Easy to move with wheels and a handle, allowing for spontaneous setup in various learning zones.
