Rules 3 & 3aThe following piece we will be using for the next
few lessons:
White Pawns –> -> Opposite XIf X equals 2, then opposite equals -2
3. You may remove the same number of white pawns from each side of the scale.
3a. The word evaluate means: solve the problem by replacing your variable with what it equals and follow the order of operations.

Rules 4 & 5
You may remove a blue and white from the same side because together they equal zero.
You may add a zero during set-up. HINTS – add the zero to the side without
cubes or the smaller cube amount - should be added for subtraction
when there is nothing to take away.

Rule 5a & 5b
5a. You may add a blue pawn to each side of the scale. By adding the pawn to each side, the scale stays balanced
5b. You may add a white pawn to each side of the scale. By adding the pawn to each side, the scale stays balanced.

Review and New
A zero should be added for subtraction when there is nothing to take away.
(-x) is another way to write .X

Rules 6 & 7
The Green Dice represent negative numbers
6. You may remove the same amount from the green dice on both sides.
7. The same amount of red and green dice equal zero. Zero’s may be added or taken away.
