Love this app
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)
Description
Teach your children the joys of learning algebra with Hands-On Equations 1 – the algebra app for children as young as eight and adults of all ages!
Algebra can be a tricky subject 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! The original Hands-On Equations program, using physical game pieces, 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 variable is represented by a blue pawn on the digital screen while the constants are 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.
•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.
•The student verifies their 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.
• 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 and middle school students. Not only will these students have FUN and be fascinated with the program, but their self-esteem will also be dramatically enhanced as they experience success with sophisticated-looking algebraic equations.
Older students who need help with algebra will also benefit from Hands-On Equations. These students may, for the first time, understand key concepts of algebra that have held them back.

Great app
No Sound on Videos
This is the only app I have where the sound on the videos does not work. I have tried everything but the sound will not come through this app. If I can’t hear what they are saying in the video, it’s not as useful. Again, every other app I own has sound that comes through just fine. It is just this one that sound does not work.
It Was Fun!!!
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!
Video won’t play
I downloaded the app, but the video lesson won’t play.
Videos
I can’t get the videos to play. Otherwise the problem solving approach is unique and a great way to learn to solve equations.
Fantastic!
Using this with my middle school daughters. We homeschool and they are taking pre algebra and algebra this year. Both were struggling with equations and love how this visualizes it! We will be purchasing both of the higher levels. It is both affordable and excellent!
Nice and easy
I’m 60 years old and have thought I was math dumb my whole life. Thank you for the non-stressful lessons. I can’t wait to learn more.
Glitch with Picture
I never buy Apps but I really liked the free version of this one so I decided to pay for this 1st group of lessons. I’m hoping it’s a temporary problem, but the pieces that are supposed to be on the scale show up below it and they get in the way of other buttons. I hope this gets fixed otherwise I really like the method used to teach algebra in a different way. It is very helpful.
It has a bad side my iPad nearly got hacked from this read this review
Danger I nearly got hacked and it gave away personal info
