Web site --balanced equations

I thought of this great interactive website when reading the article. It shows a pan balance and students increase or decrease the number on one side to = the other side.

You also have many options like comparing numbers and number models. I use it frequently on a Smartboard, but it could be used for small group instruction or as a center as well. I use it after using manipulatives.
