Leverage the Power of Algebra Tiles to Make Sense of Expressions, Equations, & Inequalities (MMMS)
Have you ever had a student ask how 2x is different from x^2? Algebra tiles are an invaluable tool for creating connections between abstract ideas and tangible understanding. They help learners make sense of pivotal concepts such as the distributive property, simplifying expressions, and solving equations. Algebra tiles also offer a visual way to explain why the inequality sign seems to ‘flip’ when dealing with negative coefficients. Join this session to discover how algebra tiles can powerfully deepen your students’ conceptual understanding of key algebraic principles.
