About This Lesson
Put candles on their matching cakes and compare groups. Add randomly colored additional candles. Ask: 'How does this change the balance?', 'Are any now equal?', 'How many more are needed?'

I like the fact that candles appear randomly but they can be dragged from cake to cake to change the questioning.
