"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 Hands-On Equations 1 Lite, equations like 4x+2=3x+9 become child’s play! The app takes advantage of the iPad’s and iPhone's visual and touch features to demystify complex algebraic concepts.
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__ for FREE!
A short, helpful introductory video by Dr. Borenson, the inventor of Hands-On Equations, assures and encourages young students that algebra is fun and easy to master.
This FREE app gives students a taste of the same in-depth algebraic experience they will have with the paid version of Hands-On Equations 1.
The app works like this –
•The unknown X variable is represented by a blue pawn on the digital screen while the constants are represented 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.
•Beginning with Lesson 3, the student simplifies the equation by removing pawns from the balance to solve for the unknown X.
•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 expert instructional video is included for each lesson.
•An intuitive user interface makes the app easy to use.
Hands-On Equations 1 Lite is perfect for introducing algebra to kids (or adults) in an entertaining and fun way. The app will boost their self-esteem and give them the confidence to take on even more complicated equations! Download the FREE app today and see how much fun and how easy algebra can be!

Home Run in Algebra

Hands on Equations and Dr. Borenson hit a Home Run with this app. Fun, clear instructions, confidence building and addicting !! Couldn’t put it down ( and I’m an adult). Planning on starting my 8, 11 & 13 yr olds on the program today. Thanks!!
Amazing

I’m 41 years old and have dyscalculia. I’ve never really understood how to solve simple linear equations.....till I found this set of lessons. I can’t describe how amazing it is to finally get a glimpse of how algebra works. The progression through each lesson and the visuals flipped the “understand switch” in my brain. Amazing, simple and brain changing.
The Concept actually MAKES SENSE!
Madison T,
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!
Really good
Neard?
It is exactly like my teacher taught except it is electronic instead of paper and pencil ?
Clear Directions

The instruction video is very clear and makes it easy to learn this amazingly simple system. Algebra has never been made easier, and the exercises are fun to complete.
