Introduction to Algebra Tiles

Grade 9s have been learning about algebra tiles, and how to model algebraic expressions with concrete tools.

We started by doing some art. We then simplified our art by removing the zero pairs, and then we wrote our final expressions in algebra. We have learned some vocabulary, and can classify polynomials by the number of terms. We can add polynomials, and are working on subtracting them too using zero pairs to help us.
