We extend our best wishes to Dr. Henry Borenson on his 81st birthday.

We asked him if he would share a brief message with the Borenson Math community. He said:

"I am grateful that the Creator has enabled me to have a very productive life, one in which I have been able to make a meaningful contribution to the field of mathematics education. The Hands-On Equations program, in particular, has brought much enjoyment and success to teachers and their students."

Removing a blue pawn from each side of the balance scale representation enables the student to visualize removing an x from each side of the equation. Here, this student is simplifying 5x + 2 = 2x + 14. We encourage all elementary teachers and principals to provide this valuable algebra learning experience to their elementary school students.
