Hands on Equations 2 iPad App Developers Description
iOS iPad
Hands-On Equations, Level 2 App
This app is intended for students (age eight and up) who have completed the Level 1 Hands-On Equations app or who have completed Level 1 in the classroom.
In Level 1, the student has learned how to solve equations such as 4x + 3 = 3x + 9 using a blue pawn, whose name is x, and red numbered cubes.
In Level 2, the student will learn how to solve equations involving a white pawn. The white pawn is an unknown like the blue pawn. The name given to the white pawn is "star."
Dr. Borenson invented a new mathematical symbol for the white pawn, namely an x with a crossbar through it. We cannot display this symbol in this text description of the app and so will simply use the name of the white pawn, "star," in the equations.
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.
Level 1 consisted of six instructional lessons and a 7th lesson, a review lesson. Level 2 begins with Lesson 8.
In Lesson 8 the student uses the same legal moves learned in Level 1 to solve equations
involving the white pawn. An example from this lesson is 5star -- 2star = star + 8.
In Lesson 9 the student learns that if the blue pawn and the white pawn appear together, then they are opposites of each other; and the pair has a zero value. The student learns to evaluate expressions. For example, if star = 3, what is the value of star + 2x + 2star + 7?
Level 2 does not assume the student has any prior experience with negative numbers.
In Lesson 10 the student solves simple equations containing both x's and stars on one side of the setup. Once the value for x is found, star also is known because it is x's opposite. An example from this lesson is 4x + star + 1 = 2x + 5.
In Lessons 11 and 12 the student is introduced to examples having x's and stars on different sides of the setup. The student learns two new legal moves for solving these problems. An example from these lesson is 2x = star + 4.
In Lesson 13 the student is given more involved equations. An example from this lesson is x + 12 = 2star + 6.
In Lesson 14 the student learns a strategy for subtracting an entity not already on the balance scale and thus can solve equations such as 2x -- star = 12.
In Lesson 15 the student learns to recognize equations containing -x as another name for star
Lesson 16 is a review lesson.
This app is limited to Level 2 of Hands-On Equations, consisting of eight lessons and a review lesson. We assume that a student attempting this Level 2 app will have studied Hands-On Equations Level 1 in the classroom or will have completed the Level 1 app.
Like the physical Hands-On Equations program, the linear equations presented in the app involve whole-number coefficients and whole-number answers.
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.
More than a million students in the United States have benefited from the physical Hands-On Equations program. This app is designed to open up the delightful world of algebra to even more students in the United States and throughout the world.
More information on Hands-On Equations can be found at www.borenson.com and on
YouTube.
