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 brief, informative video by Dr. Henry Borenson, the creator of Hands-On Equations, encourages 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 ideal for introducing algebra to children aged 8 and above in an entertaining and engaging manner. 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 been enthusiastically received by adults who, for the first time in their lives, have been able to understand how to solve equations!
