Hands On Equations

The objective of these math manipulatives called “Hands On Equations” is to introduce students to the concepts of algebra at an early age. These tools allow students to change an abstract equation into its physical representation and solve problems through a series of “moves” with the pawns provided in the kit. Students build self esteem and confidence in their math skills. When students experience success in this form of mathematics, which is the basis for the study of higher math and science, there is great potential for improved learning in the future and less likelihood of developing math phobia. Ms. Combs will be sharing these tools with many teachers at Big Island Elementary School .
