ALGEBRA FOR KIDS AGE 8 AND UP Algebra can be tricky to master, but with the help of the Hands-On Equations 1 app, equations such as 4x+2=3x+9 and 2(3x+1) = 2x + 14 become child’s play! Watch as your children solve these equations in only six lessons! Watch their sense of satisfaction in their success! Using physical game pieces, the original Hands-On Equations program has already helped more than a million young students in the United States gain confidence with algebra. Now that same, proven method is available virtually in the palm of your hand. 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, while number cubes represent the constants. •In Lesson 1, the icons do not move. The student solves the equations by thinking or "guessing and checking." This lesson sets the stage for later lessons. •Beginning with Lesson 2, the student places the game pieces on the balance scale to represent the two sides of the equation. •Starting with Lesson 3, the student simplifies the equations by performing "legal moves" with the pawn, and beginning with Lesson 4, legal moves with the cubes. •In Lesson 5, students work with equations involving subtraction, such as 5x – 3x + 2 = x + 5, and in Lesson 6, they work with equations involving parentheses, such as 2(2x + 1) = 3x + 12. •To conduct the check, the student resets the problem on the scale and evaluates both sides. The check is a required part of every problem. •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. • More than 80 equations to solve! •Supports multiple users while keeping track of the problems solved by each user Hands-On Equations is the ideal first introduction to algebra for elementary school students. Not only will these students have FUN and be fascinated with the program, but their self-esteem will be dramatically enhanced as they experience success with sophisticated-looking algebraic equations. If you are an adult who failed algebra: This app will show you how easy it would have been to understand solving equations if presented in this manner!

I really love your app and cannot wait to try it again for some reasons. The first reason is that the playing pieces that can be moved help me visualize the problem better. Second, the videos guide you through how to do the math. Third, the funny cartoons make me more engaged in the lesson. To conclude, your apps are great and taking away my algebra fear.

Where was this when I was in high school?! I’m 42 and relearning math. This is a great way to solve for x. EDIT 10/26/23: I can’t believe x is just a pawn in this game. (Bad pun intended)

This is great game to learn basic algebraic equations for me as a 6th Grader. I enjoyed the set up and was able to get through the lessons all on my first day. I can’t wait to try the hands on equations app 2!
