A NOTE TO TEACHERS: Understanding the Digital Blackline Masters (Digital BLMs)
Blackline masters (BLMs) are an integral part of the Hands-On Program. One or more BLMs accompany
each lesson in the program. Each BLM has a sequential reference number, which can be found at the
bottom of the page. For example, BLM 3.6.2 is from unit 3, lesson 6, and is the second lesson.
3.6.2
The table of contents that comes with the Digital BLMs does not include page numbers. You can easily
match the Digital BLM to its lesson since it has the same reference number as the BLM in the print book.

1. In the first box, draw a pencil with a small Plasticine ball pushed onto one end.
2. Predict where you think the pencil’s balance point is located (draw a blue arrow to show this point).
3. Find the balance point, and draw a red arrow to show the actual balance point.
4. Find three more items, draw a picture of each in boxes 2–4, predict (drawing a blue arrow), then find the actual balance point of each, and show it with a red pencil.
