I love Hands On Equations!

Hands On Equations is so logical and easy to use with students. The directions are very clear.
When I used it in my classroom, students loved it and looked forward to the next lesson.
I noticed that by the time they finished level 1, there was a positive change in their attitudes towards math. Besides being successful learning the basics of Algebra, their grades in all other aspects of math also improved!
I suddenly didn’t hear anyone saying “I can’t do Math.” anymore. I recommend this program for all students. It makes such a difference learning Algebra visually vs. learning abstractly.

Yay

Good app

My kid actually gets algebra now

I bought this for my daughter and honestly didn’t expect much — most math apps are just dressed-up flashcards. This one is different. She’s moving little pawns around a balance scale and solving real equations without even realizing that’s what she’s doing. When I told her “you just did algebra,” her face lit up.
The lessons go at a good pace and build on each other, so she never feels lost or bored. No flashy distractions, no annoying characters, just a clear method that works. She actually asks to do the next lesson, which has never happened with any other math app in our house.
If your kid is curious about math or struggling with it, give this a try. Worth every penny.

The Best Tool

I really love your app and cannot wait to try it again for some reasons. The first reason is that the playing pieces that can be moved help me visualize the problem better. Second, the videos guide you through how to do the math. Third, the funny cartoons make me more engaged in the lesson. To conclude, your apps are great and taking away my algebra fear.

Algebra made easy

After 50 yrs I’m finally understanding algebra thanks to this wonderfully created hands on app. When I took algebra in college I would have continued taking other harder maths if I could comprehend it like I do using this app. Kudos to the developer!
