The Fun Way to Learn Algebra

This app is intended for children aged eight and up, as well as adults of all ages.

Algebra can be a challenging 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, offers encouragement to learners.

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 is represented by a blue pawn on the digital screen, whereas number cubes represent the constants.

• In Lesson 1, the icons do not move. The student uses a "guess and check" approach 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 is the FREE version of the Hands-On Equations 1 app. It is perfect for introducing algebra to children aged 8 and up in an entertaining and engaging way. The app will boost their self-esteem and give them the confidence to tackle even more complex equations, as found in Hands-On Equations 1, 2, and 3.

The app has also found favor with adults who, for the first time in their lives, have been able to understand how to solve equations!
