Math Word Problem for Friday, January 8, 2021

Balance the seesaw by making both sides equal to each other. These are the weights of the animals:

•  Mouse – 1

• Turtle – 2

• Rabbit – 3

• Bobcat – 4

• Wolf – 5

• Deer – 6

• Bear – 7

Here is an example:

7 + 3 = 5 + 4 + 1

10 = 10

I can put a bear and a rabbit on one side which will equal 10. On the other side I can put a wolf, a bobcat, and a mouse which will equal 10. 

Try and solve the problem in more than 2 different ways. Use pictures, words, and numbers like I have in my example!
