Description

Balancing Act is a math learning game for the Apple II.

The player is presented with a scale with an unknown number between 1 and 100 on the right. The player must attempt to develop an equation using the numbers 1 - 9, and the operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Each operation and number can only be used once. The player is then told if their equation is higher or lower than the sum. The goal is to reach the correct operation in the minimal number of turns.
