The HandsOn Equations Learning System is a manipulativesbased instructional system that provides young children with an introduction to algebraic linear equations. The program can be used with a gifted child as early as the first grade, and with an average child as early as the third grade. The parent who wishes to use the program with more than one child at a time should purchase the HandsOn Equations Additional Student Kit for each additional child. The program uses the visual and handson instructional approach developed by Dr. Henry Borenson to simplify the learning of abstract algebraic concepts. This handson, intuitive approach enhances student selfesteem and interest in mathematics while providing a solid foundation for later algebraic studies. In Level I, students use the red cubes and blue pawns to set up and solve equations such as: 4x + 3 = 3x + 9 and 2(2x + 1) = 3x + 10. Once students represent the equation on their laminated balance scale, they then use legal moves to simplify and solve the equation. Without even realizing it, students learn sophisticated algebraic concepts, such as the relational meaning of equality, the distributive property of multiplication over addition, the subtraction and addition properties of equality, the additive property of zero and the property of additive inverses. The program is straightforward to use and wellillustrated. It does not require any algebraic prerequisites from the student, teacher, or parent. However, it would be helpful if the students can do simple calculations such as 8 + 7 or 7 + 7 + 7. Knowledge of multiplication or division is not required but is helpful. Since 1990, more than 50,000 teachers and one million students have used HandsOn Equations in the United States.
