Concepts that are learned intuitively tend to stay with us for a long period of time. In an effort to make Linear Equation comprehensible for students to learn and practice, I have developed an Android app (https://goo.gl/HZiEHo). The app does NOT solve an equation. It lets a student play around with operands which can be moved on either side of “=” in an equation. Seeing the result of moving an operand & analyzing its behavior should help a student register the concepts of operand, operator, variable, constant and how they fit into a Linear Equation quite firmly. A student can then proceed to solving the equation for an unknown variable.
