Hands on equations is wonderful at teaching children how to think algebraically.
We are using the program for my eighth-grader, but everyone down to the second-graders can follow along and learn the concept of working with an unknown number in a math problem. We give this about 15-20 minutes of our morning time daily.
Teaching math concepts in a concrete way first is so important, and I love that someone else figured this out for me and made it easy to use and teach.

It was all hands on deck this morning in the garden picking and weeding. We got a monster haul after two weeks of neglect. Considering that the average first frost in my part of Missouri occurs around October 21st, we still have a month of good production left.
We also prepared two more rows for winter cropping. And later today, I will spread another load of wood chips on the grass that is left in the space. Next year we will have twice the square footage for planting!
