Algebra Studio™ | Hands-On Math Labs & Games

Ready-to-teach math labs
built around real things and teamwork

Students build balances, race motorized cars, and design their own games.
Seven curriculum kits for grades 3–9 — each with slides, videos, and printables.

AREA & PERIMETER
Students working with PRISM Pet Supply materials
Grades 3+
10 sessions · 15–20 hours

PRISM: Grand Opening

Students design a PRISM Pet Supply store and get ready for the Grand Opening. Tasks teach area, perimeter, arrays, bar graphs and multiplication.

FRACTIONS
Students playing fraction games in Design Game X
Grade 4+
10 sessions · 15–20 hours

Mega Mini Games: Design Game X

Students learn to identify, compare, and find equivalent fractions by playing oversized physical games — then design and build their own original fraction game.

FRACTION OPERATIONS
Students playing advanced fraction games in The Next Big Game
Grade 5+
10 sessions · 15–20 hours

Mega Mini Games: The Next Big Game

Students add, subtract, and multiply fractions through a new set of oversized physical games — then design and build a more complex original game of their own.

COORDINATES & GRAPHING
Students working on coordinate geometry in Finding P.I.P.E.R.
Grade 5
10 sessions · 15–20 hours

Space Academy: Finding P.I.P.E.R.

Students build a motorized rescue vehicle, collect data, and use the coordinate plane and graphing to save a stranded robot on a distant planet.

RATIO, RATE & PERCENT
Students collecting data with motorized racers in Journey to Titan
Grade 6+
10 sessions · 15–20 hours

Space Academy: Journey to Titan

Students put their rescue vehicle to the test — running time trials and using ratio, unit rate, percent, and scale drawings to navigate a new mission on Saturn's moon.

LINEAR EQUATIONS
Students using cups and cubes on a balance to solve equations
Grades 6+
14 lessons · 15–20 hours

Algebra Studio: Balance Lab

Students build a physical balance and use cups and cubes to model equations — from one-step to variables on both sides.

GRAPHING, RATE & SLOPE
Students building and racing motorized cars to discover slope
Grades 7+
21 lessons · 25–30 hours

Algebra Studio: Slope Lab

Students build a motorized racer with Circuit Cubes™, collect distance/time data, discover slope, and write equations in y = mx + b form.
