This math topic revolves around Algebra Basic Concepts, specifically focusing on balancing shapes across 3 beams and simple substitution. It contains exercises designed to enhance problem-solving skills by determining which shapes will balance the scales in various configurations. Each question presents a different scenario with potential answers represented by graphical shapes, testing the ability to equate physical balances with symbolic understanding. This would aid learners in visualizing and solving equations using a balance model approach.
