“Without any doubt, the foundational skill
of algebra is fluency in the use of symbols.”

Report of the Task Group on Conceptual Knowledge and Skills, Page 17

Shirley Frye, former NCTM President, teaching 4th graders
how to solve 3x + 4 = x + 8 using Hands-On Equations.

 

 “Hands-On Equations® introduces students ... even young students ... to abstract algebraic symbols and operations at a representational level. This enables them to successfully develop a facility and understanding that serves as a foundation for algebra. I highly recommend this whole-brain instructional approach as an effective way for students to build their algebraic thinking.” – Shirley Frye

 

 

 

 

Hands-On Equations is the secret of success to teaching algebra in the elementary schools!

For more than 20 years, Borenson and Associates has been showing teachers how young students, grades 3 and above, can experience a high level of success with algebraic equations, and more recently, with word problems. Provide your students with a solid foundation for success in algebra before they get to Algebra I.
