Weight it up



Walt: solve the questions.

I am learning mass. I have to make the two sides balance. One square is equal to three circles. So what I did was, multiply three and three. Which makes nine. What I would like to learn do next do more complex work.

Now doing this problem. This was problem was complex!. This messed with my mind a bit. But having to think of it over and over again, I got the hang of it. Squares to circles was easy, but circles to squares is difficult. Sorry Mrs., I misjudged this game!
