About this worksheet
A free printable weigh it with cubes: balance scale measuring worksheet with an answer key. Each scale is balanced. Count the cubes to find how much each thing weighs, then compare.

Tips for using it
- Read each answer as a sentence: 38 is greater than 29.
- Remember: the open side of the sign faces the bigger number.
- Line the object up with the 0 on the ruler, not with the end of the ruler.
- Before each scale, ask: which side went down? That side is heavier, every time.
