Let's Learn To Measure Activity Set

This was a fun addition to our homeschool i would recommend

We just received this today and it looks great and pretty durable for a plastic toy. I love the little 'extras' for measuring that it comes with (activity cards for measuring, fraction cup measures, and the cubes), so I give it credit for those, but it wasn't why I purchased it. I purchased this because I thought the scale would automatically shift from greater-than (>), equal (=), and less-than (<) symbols. Instead, I discovered that feature is something you have to do MANUALLY, which doesn't help me at all, because I wanted my daughter to learn this independently through play. (And now, when she DOES play independently, it will often show the inaccurate symbol for the relationship, which is probably detrimental to her learning!) If I'd known that I had to do it manually, I would have bought a different scale that I liked more and just created little cards to show the greater-than/equal/less-than symbols. I'm really disappointed this feature wasn't as expected and I am seriously considering returning this scale.

My kid loves to play with this, but it has a measuring cup missing :(

This scale is decent for introducing capacity to preschool/kindergarten age students. Best if using dry goods in the scale pieces, however, as the clear plastic holders leak water; which was disappointing.

My kid was so excited about this toy but once he started measuring liquids we noticed that both of the cups on the scale had a hole in the bottom. Big mess!

My boys really enjoyed playing with the learn to measure activity set. They liked trying to figure out how to balance the scale and I loved that they were using their critical thinking skills and learning while playing! The quality of the toy is great and worth the money spent.

Great learning tools. Very pleased with this item

Bought for my toddlers - Lovely resource for homeschooling. Comes with some prompt cards with lots of different activities(double sided) and they are a nice big size. They enjoy all the varieties of activities that can be done with this. Good quality, very easy to put together Most importantly, kids find it fun and engaging and keeps them busy for a while. They enjoy checking if their toys are heavier than the water :)

Lo usé con mi hijo para comparar pesos y con mis alumnos de segundo grado de primaria.

Amazing A*

A bit on the pricey side at around £35 as I write this, which seems to be a common theme with this brand. Regardless, the true value is in the colour manual and addition double sided activity cards and is probably the USP for this brand. The learning material is well laid out, it is written in a way which children can understand and follow, in a fun and approachable way - even for those that are intimidated by early KS1 maths. The supplied equipment is good enough, not high quality, that being said it helps deliver the concepts and experiments directed in the manual and from those on the cards very well. You get the following in the set: • 4 Rainbow Fraction Measuring Cups. • 1 Nestable Bucket Balance, • 20 Interlocking MathLink Cubes, • 10 Double-sided Activity Cards, • 1 Multilingual Full Colour Manual The set is useful in teaching many early maths concepts, such as measuring, size, weight and balance, fractions, density of liquids and solids, volume and mathematical units with will become commonplace as our little one gets older. 4 stars

So impressed with this measuring set. Great quality like all the other learning resources toys we've had but is such a good way to learn through play. My 4 year old has done some measuring in school recently (with scales that look very similar) and was loving being able to show her little brother how they work. I especially like how maths link cubes are included in the set. We've got another learning resources set which has the maths links cubes in, so it's great to be able to have a bigger pool of cubes and also be able to show the kids the different ways we can use them (even on their own). The cubes have a different shape on each face for example, so even talking about those is a learning activity in itself. This set is a good way to introduce kids to the concepts of a half, quarter etc. with the smaller sections for the scales. Overall I think proper working scales are quite an unusual kids toy to see so learning opportunities aside they would make a brilliant addition to any kitchen or shop set for kids. Great toy.
