What is Hands-On Equations?

Hands-On Equations is a supplementary program that can be used with any math curriculum. It uses the visual and kinesthetic approach developed by Dr. Henry Borenson to provide students with an algebraic foundation for success with algebra. The program also provides students with a unique five-step procedure enabling them to concretize and solve word problems. Even ten lessons of Hands-On Equations can make a dramatic difference in the ability of your students to be successful with algebraic linear equations and word problems! Hands-On Equations provides both a foundation for the Common Core State Standards and, in many instances, exceeds those standards.

 

 What are the benefits of using Hands-On Equations?

• No algebraic prerequisites are required
• It is a game-like approach that fascinates students
• The gestures or "legal moves" used to solve the equations reinforce the concepts at a deep kinesthetic level
• The program can be used as early as the 3rd grade with gifted students, 4th grade with average students and 5th grade with LD students; it also serves as an excellent component of a middle-school pre-algebra program
• Students attain a high level of success with the program (see research studies section)
• The program provides students with a strong foundation for later algebraic studies
• The concepts and skills presented are essential for success in an Algebra 1 class
