About this worksheet
A free printable balance equations with block towers worksheet with an answer key. Count the cubes in each tower. Write a number sentence that shows both sides are equal. It matches first grade goals, roughly ages 6 to 7. Use small objects like buttons or cereal to check tricky problems.
Tips for using it
- Have your child say each fact out loud while writing the answer.
- Before each scale, ask: which side went down? That side is heavier, every time.
- On the missing-weight pages, add up the full side first, then ask how much the other side still needs.
- For the shape puzzles, always solve the scale with only one kind of shape first.
