Description: Balancing equations on addition to 20. Hop aboard the math highway with this exciting balancing equation activity featuring delivery trucks! Each truck has two sides—and they won’t drive off until the loads are perfectly balanced. Students will use their addition skills to find the missing number that completes the balancing equation, making sure both sides of the truck carry equal amounts. Whether the blank appears on the left or the right side, learners must think carefully to solve each equation and keep the truck steady. This hands-on experience makes the concept of a balancing equation come to life in a fun and visual way, helping students build a strong foundation in number sense and equality.
