Hands-on Equations (Making Algebra Kids' play )  

NEW CLASS!  Will be coming in September!!!

  • For ages 8-11 (for gifted 3rd graders and 4-6 graders)
  • Prerequisite: Must be very skilled in division
  • Lesson Time: 4:30-5:30pm (60 min.) on Monday. Once a week. (Class schedule may be subject to change. )
  • Classes are delivered in English. 
  • Parents are responsible to buy the blocks and books.


Hands-On Equations is a visual and kinesthetic system for introducing students in grades 3 to 8 to essential algebraic concepts. In a few lessons students learn to solve equations such as  4x + 3 = 3x + 9 and 2(2x + 1) = x + 8. Later lessons teach additional concepts. The students physically set up the equation using the game pieces and a flat laminated balance and then proceed to carry out "legal moves" to solve the equation. The legal moves are the physical counterpart of the abstract mathematical principles which are used to solve these equations.

Stay tuned!
