HANDS ON EQUATIONS
There is an app out there that you can download or the kids can download and play on their smart phones, iPads or tablets. There is a free version and a pay version. It is a great way for the kids to play with the stuff and then they can even show it to you! You will be amazed at how easy it is to solve equations. http://www.borenson.com/ Here is the website on the internet for a visual of what to look for on the app. We are going to be solving equations with positive and negative x’s and positive and negative numbers.
