Use the white pawn to solve equations such as 3x = -x + 4 and 2x-(-3x) = 12 + x.
Features Hands-On Equations 2
This app is intended for students who have already completed Level 1 of Hands-On Equations.In Level 2, the student learns how to solve equations involving the white pawn -- whose name is "star" -- as well as the blue pawn and the red cubes.The white pawn is an unknown like the blue pawn.
The value of the white pawn is the opposite of that of the blue pawn.
Hence if x = 3, star = -3.Since their sum is zero, when the white pawn and the blue pawn occur together on the same side of the scale they may be removed without affecting the balance.The notation used for the white pawn is that of an x with a crossbar through it.
It has the name of “star” since it looks like a star.
Later on in the program the students learn to recognize “(-x)” as another name for star.In Level 2 students learn to solve equations such as 4x+(-x)+1=2x+5 and 2x-(-x)=12.A video introduction is provided for each lesson.
(See the sample YouTube video at http://youtu.be/VFYQ47EAqZw.) Each video introduction is followed by two examples and ten exercises.
It is essential for the student to view the lesson video prior to attempting the examples and exercises for that lesson.Hands-On Equations is the ideal introduction to algebra for elementary and middle school students.
Not only will students have fun and be fascinated with the program, their sense of self-esteem will be dramatically enhanced as they experience success with sophisticated algebraic equations.High school students struggling with algebra will likely experience success and understanding for the first time as they work with this app.The video instruction for each lesson will enable the user to continue with the success and enjoyment they had with the Level 1 app as they solve even more challenging equations!More information on Hands-On Equations can be found at www.borenson.com and on YouTube.Minor stylistic changes made

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"The application is very wysiwyg, but it can only install on the phone. I gave it reduced stars: No way to move to SD card. Please help save space on the android phone by allowing storage to be moved."
Ab Cooper
"Love the game so much!!!!! It deserves more than a 5-star."
Tadser Painchault
"At 43 years old, I finally am feeling empowered with math, which is incredible. Is there a level 3?"
Christine Colon
"There are two problems that can not be solved. I asked the owner to make the corrections and he refused to do this and refund my money. I did write that address and nothing was done."

"Fun way to learn Algebra to prep me for the GED. My only gripes are 1: There's no "help" if you're stuck on a particular exercise, other than taking you back to the video which only explains only one scenario. At least a written explanation of how to solve each individual exercise should be provided as a minimum, as you can't progress to the next exercise without solving the previous one. 2: The video is small, only using a small portion of my Samsung S9's screen, making it difficult to view."
Steve Gilbert
"Excellent. I concur with other comments, I too would continue to purchase these tutorials if more and more are made. It is Brilliant."
Howard Fisher
"absolutely amazing he makes it understandable"
Sherry Mack
"Absolutely love this app! My friends think I'm crazy for thinking algebra is fun...lol I need more, is there a level 3 coming soon?!?"
Shawn S
"Great !!!!"
Miguel McWilliams
"Amazing way to capture algebra. The visual approach to complicated mathematical equations is a very power tool."
