Using Algebra Tiles in Middle School Math

Watch on YouTube

Inside this pack of algebra tiles printables is everything you need to bring algebra tiles into your middle school math classroom, including: 
⬢ Printable double-sided algebra tiles with + and - sides
⬢ Printable mats for:   -solving equations,   -simplifying expressions,   -adding, subtracting multiplying and dividing integers,   -multiplying polynomials and   -factoring quadratics 
When in the classroom, the mats in this download can be placed inside page protectors so that students can write on them with dry-erase markers as they practice with their tiles. 
When teaching remotely, the algebra tiles can be used during lessons to model the topics covered. 
I like using algebra tiles as a way to "prove" to students that numbers are concrete and can be manipulated, much like building blocks! I like to use them as part of an introduction of a topic to give students a different perspective on the math we are learning. 
*These resources were originally part of the Moving Math Forward conference held remotely in July 2020.

Fall 2020:

The Moving Math Forward virtual conference is back for the fall. I know this is probably the busiest time of your entire teaching career. The fall conference videos will be available to watch for 2 months after the conference's start date (October 5, 2020). You can get a ticker for 1, 2 or all 3 days.
