About this app

"This is an excellent app for teaching the fundamentals of algebra, especially for visual learners."- bestappsforkids.com.

Algebra can be a tricky subject to master, but with the help of this free Hands-On Equations app, equations such as 4x+2=3x+9 become child’s play! The original Hands-On Equations program, using physical game pieces, has already helped more than a million students gain confidence with algebra. Now that same, proven method is available virtually in the palm of your hand.

A short, helpful introductory video by Dr. Henry Borenson, the inventor of Hands-On Equations, provides encouragement to the learner.

The app works like this –
• An expert instructional video introduces each lesson. It is essential to watch this video!
• Success with the two practice problems enables the app user to access the ten lesson exercises.
• The unknown x variable is represented by a blue pawn on the digital screen while the constants by number cubes.
• In Lesson 1 the icons do not move. The student uses thinking or "guess and check" to solve the equations.
• Beginning with Lesson 2, the student places the game pieces on the balance scale to represent the two sides of the equation.
• In Lesson 3, the student simplifies the equation by performing "legal moves" with the pawns.
• The student verifies his/her solution by resetting the problem to conduct the check.
• Feedback is provided to the student in the check phase of the problem.
• Simple touch features are used to move the pieces around.
• An intuitive and attractive user interface makes the app easy to use.

This free version of Hands-On Equations is perfect for introducing algebra to kids in an entertaining and fun way. The app will boost their self-esteem and give them the confidence to take on even more complicated equations!

Ratings and reviews

I already know algebra and wanted some fun algebra problems, this was good for a few minutes. I don't want to watch lessons so I skipped them. Auto check doesn't work because the number you enter is one more than what the computer thinks you enter. For example, if you enter 1, the computer thinks you entered 0. If you enter 6, the computer thinks you entered 5

Dear Dr Borenson. I can honestly say that you are the first person that's made me 'get it', many thanks. I am a 40 year old with a good self taught education in Literature, Music and History, Algebra however...even basic algebraic equations have always eluded my understanding..I could always complete algebra questions by following parrot fashion what I was told to do, however I wanted to understand what it was I was doing. However app not opening since phone change, hope this can be fixed.

All my life I have struggled with advanced math. I was not ashamed of this but I was convinced that math and I would never find common under standing. Then I found this app. I have never found a method to help me overcome my math phobia, but this one with its unique visual learning method has made me not only love the full version but love algebra and look forward to new lessons. Never has an app done that much for me. I have tears of joy and this app is what made it all possible.
