Elementary SAIL Program
(Students Accelerated In Learning)
The Hands-On Equations Learning Systems presents a physical and intuitive model of the world of basic algebra. The students simply transform the given abstract equation into its physical counterpart, and then proceed to solve the given equation through the use of physical “legal moves”.
3rd Graders:
The Hands On Equations Learning System teaches students algebra using manipulatives. The program is designed to systematically teach the methods of algebra using concrete and pictorial lessons. By the end of the third grade unit, students will be able to solve equations such as 2x + x + x + 2 =2x + 10 and 2(x+4) + x = x + 16.
4th Graders:
The Hands On Equations Learning System teaches students algebra using manipulatives. The program is designed to systematically teach the methods of algebra using concrete and pictorial lessons. By the end of the fourth grade unit, students will be able to solve equations such as 2(x + 4) + x = x + 16 and 2x – 3(-x) = 20 + x.
5th Graders:
The Hands On Equations Learning System teaches students algebra using manipulatives. The program is designed to systematically teach the methods of algebra using concrete and pictorial lessons. By the end of the fifth grade unit, students will be able to solve equations such as 2(-x + 8) – (-3) = 2x + 3 and 2x – 2(-x + 4) = x + (-2).
