Algebra: Hands on Equations - Appreciation Week
Using the Borensen Math hands-on equations curriculum, this course lays an excellent foundation for children in grades 3-8 for Algebra by taking the mystery out of it and making it fun and accessible. This is an excellent introduction to Algebra for elementary students and can be very helpful for older students who have taken Algebra but never really understood it.
