"For the first time in my life, I actually understood how to do algebra and why it works. You and your child do not have to fear algebra. With Hands-On Equations, the solution to algebra is in your hands! I give it an A+!"

It is a whole-brain instructional approach to introducing students in grades 3 – 8 to significant algebraic concepts. The program utilizes the power of the visual and kinesthetic senses to help children grasp concepts that many 9th graders taking Algebra I in school or at home find difficult to understand when those concepts are taught in an abstract manner. Dr. Borenson received a U.S. patent for Hands-On Equations. |

In six lessons you can expect to see significant gains in your students' algebraic knowledge and skill, including their ability to understand and solve equations such as
4x + 3 = 3x + 9 and 2(2x + 1) = 2x + 10 with confidence.
Barclay (1992), in a study involving 123 students ages 11-13, reported, "100% of the students demonstrated at least 80% mastery on at least two out of the three tests that followed the instruction." Barber and Borenson (2007) reported a rise in mean from 44.8% on the pre test to 85.5% on the post test for four inner city 5th grade Title I classrooms. |
