“…A variety of balance models have been used to promote young students' understanding of concepts related to linear equations. For example, Cheeseman and colleagues [36] reported on the use of a physical balance model with five-to seven-year-old students. Students experimented with the physical balance model by making use of a range of equipment with different weights.…”

“…In the stories recounted here, persistence is taken to mean "how much students keep trying to work out an answer or to understand a problem even when that problem is difficult or is challenging" (Martin, 2003, p. 46). The stories come from sources of data of three separate research projects: Measurement and Number Sense (Cheeseman, Benz & Pullen, 2018); Investigating Children's Thinking about Measurement Tools (Cheeseman, McDonough & Golemac, 2017); and Investigating Early Concepts of Mass (Cheeseman, McDonough & Ferguson, 2014).…”

“…The second story is of Thomas, an Australian child of six years old, who I observed playing with suspended balances that were novel to him. The context was a play space in a school setting where researchers were investigating children's spontaneous use of mass equipment (Cheeseman, McDonough, & Golemac, 2017). Pairs of balance scales were set up and objects were laid out for the children to explore uninterrupted.…”
