👉 Balloon math is a visual and intuitive method for solving algebraic equations, particularly useful for understanding the balance of equations without relying on formal algebraic symbols. It involves representing variables and constants as physical objects, like balloons, and then manipulating these objects to maintain the balance of the equation. For instance, if you have an equation like \(x + 3 = 7\), you can imagine \(x\) as a balloon and add 3 balloons to it, resulting in 10 balloons. To keep the equation balanced, you would then remove 3 balloons from the balloon representing \(x\), leaving you with \(x = 4\). This method makes it easier to grasp the concept of equality and how to isolate variables by performing the same operations on both sides of the equation, all while keeping the visual and tangible aspects of the problem in mind.
