wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I saw one in the teachers store. Has anybody used one? The box does a great job selling it, but ofcourse they are going to make it sound great. If you have used one would you recommend getting it? Its $55 and I dont really want to spend that much on a flop! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've done coursework with them, so I'm familiar with them. I haven't taught with them though. I don't intend to get one for my son, but I think he'll be ready for algebraic work at that point. I do have algebra tiles though. We probably will use them for manipulatives with algebra. They're much cheaper and I think do a good enough job (and can be used for factoring and multiplication as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 For roughly the same amount of money, you can get the basic Hands-On Equations set from RR plus the Verbal Problems Book. It won't come with the DVD's but I found HOE easy to teach without them. Do get the word problems book because there's not much "meat" to HOE without it.
