Balancing Equations

In math today we continued learning about "true" and "balanced" equations. We have learned that the equal sign mean "the same as", so one side of an equation (or equal sign) must be "the same as" the other side of the equation (or the other side of the equal sign).  We have had some great discussions around this concept and we also used a special scale on which we could test out whether or not an equation was balanced and true.
