About this app

Hands-On Equations is the fun way to learn algebra.

1. Imagine your child confidently solving algebra equations after just three lessons! Using blue pawns, numbered cubes, and a visual balance model, students quickly discover that algebra can be clear, intuitive, and enjoyable. Instead of memorizing rules, they develop a genuine understanding of the mathematical concepts they are learning.

The Hands-On Equations math app transforms algebra into an engaging math learning experience. Along the way, they experience the excitement and satisfaction of solving equations such as 4x + 3 = 3x + 9 in just three lessons, and equations such as 2(2x + 1) = 3x + 10 in just six lessons. These equations are typically not introduced to students until middle school. Yet, your child, age 8 and up, can experience success and joy in solving these algebra equations!

2. Why children love Hands-On Equations
Every lesson builds on previous success through carefully sequenced activities that make abstract algebra visual and easy to understand. Students don't simply learn procedures—they understand why each step works.

The elegant instructional design and intuitive app experience make learning algebra both rapid and enjoyable. Students find that this visual learning enables them to solve algebra equations in a few short lessons.

Students love the ease with which they can manipulate the blue pawns and numbered cubes, sliding them on and off the balance scale as they solve increasingly challenging equations. The app's elegant simplicity creates a pleasant, intuitive, and highly satisfying learning experience. ________________________________________
3. What Students Learn in the Hands-On Equations Level 1 App
Throughout the six carefully sequenced lessons and one review lesson, students learn:
• the meaning of equivalence
• algebraic notation
• how to check solutions
• legal moves with pawns and cubes
• equations involving subtraction
• equations involving parentheses
• confidence that lasts long after the lessons are completed
________________________________________
4. Proven Success
More than one million students have experienced success with the Hands-On Equations Learning System. Originally developed using physical game pieces and classroom instruction, this proven educational approach is now available in an app that makes learning algebra both intuitive and enjoyable.

Math is so much fun because I'm all about numbers here. I like them because it seems really cool about learning how to work with them and go as high as you could go and see if you have the right amount of things to show by using numbers. I like to collect and work with numbers so I could see signs speed limits and scores that I could do something with. Counting money is also my thing because I like to help out with budgeting and see if we did well and have enough of cash to get things we needed♡

I have always been able to do math in my head. It has been 15 years since I have done actual mathematical equations. I had to take an aptitude test for a career opportunity which required me to do algebraic equations in to which I was having a hard time remembering. This is an absolute wonderful way to help refresh your brain on the order of how the equations are to be done and also a fun time while learning. More fun than any game app I have ever played and worth every penny.

At the age of 15 my parent repeated what the maths teacher said to them--your daughter will never be good at maths. Personally I thought algebra, the hardest maths of all, was a strange Klingon-like language which I was too dumb to decipher. When I downloaded this app, I did so with reluctance. But wow, two days later I'm confidentally solving problems and absolutely loving it. The explanations and visuals are soooo logical, even my 15 year old daughter (divine providence) finds it easy. This is why I'm happy to recommend this app to everyone. By the way, I'm 46, so it's not too late to train an old human new tricks.
