"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.

Ratings and Reviews
Amazed
All I’m going to say is WOW! Okay, I’ll say a little more. This app makes learning algebra so easy and fun. I’ve always struggled with math except for the time many years ago when my brother tutored me. He made it so easy and fun that my grades went up two grades in one semester. Now here I am many years later struggling again because I forgot so much. My amazing brother passed away. I took algebra 2 in college about 3 times and failed each time. All different math professors...so I figured I would never grasp it again. Something told me to search for an Algebra app and to my surprise I found this awesome app. I’m now addicted to it. I feel confident in retaking this class. I have all my other credits, so once I successfully complete this class I will have earned my degree. Thank you for creating a masterpiece app. If you struggle with algebra...this app is for you.
AMAZING, EASY. Use this, you will not regret it
I am 25 and have always been bad at math, I skipped out on college because I was nervous I simply was not smart enough. I decided to join the military and algebra is required on the test. I took a practice test and I failed miserably, I was so lost trying to figure the problems out. It was very embarrassing for me, I decided to teach myself again. I bought a book and it was like reading an alien language. I thought, "it's 2017, I'm sure there's an app for that" sure enough I stumbled across this. Took me no longer than an hour to re grasp the concept of algebra. The visual learning in this app is fantastic and a lot easier than how I learned when I was a kid. I am glad I downloaded this app and I suggest it to ANYONE who wants to relearn but has a hard time with numbers like I do.
The Concept actually MAKES SENSE!
I’m 11 years old and I’m going into middle school next year where they are going to be teaching algebra. Of course I’m scared out of my mind even though I’m ok at math. When they introduced me to algebra in 5th Grade the concept was confusing and I forgot it easily. Now that it is summer I have to prepare for the advanced math, but I needed an concept that is easy to remember and short. My mom found me this app and when I tried the concept it was really easy and actually kind of fun. I played it over and over again and said I rather play this app than take a shower. 😂 Now here I am writing a review because I love this app so much. So GET THE APP if you can!
