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!

Ratings and Reviews
8yo found this app fun
My 8yo found this on my phone. I downloaded it for his older sister who never used it. He loved it. The concepts are introduced so well and clearly that he understood each video and proceeded to do every lesson independently. I did make him work out some equations out on paper after completing the app. When working out on paper, he did draw a scale for himself and used smiley faces instead of pawns. I’m confident that he understands the concepts and will be able to move on to solving without “drawing” with some more on paper practice. Level 1 was completed over 2days because he kept asking to do more. We have purchased Level 2. I would love to see more apps.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your in-depth comments. It appears that your 8 year-old is on his way to solving these mentally. Thank you!
Great tool for people who aren’t good at algebra!
I have struggled with algebra since it was first introduced to me in 9th grade. I’ve always been bad at it. I’ve never understood the concept they taught us in school. I always failed every test. All I have to say is Thank god for this unique and easy way of learning algebra I am struggling no more. It’s fun it makes me excited for math instead of dread it. Download it guys you will not regret it.

Thanks for providing this in-depth review. Glad this approach has made the concepts clear!
Algebra made easy
After 50 yrs I’m finally understanding algebra thanks to this wonderfully created hands on app. When I took algebra in college I would have continued taking other harder maths if I could comprehend it like I do using this app. Kudos to the developer!
