Count on tiles to add polynomials. Pupils drag virtual algebra tiles onto colored mats to represent the sum of two polynomials. The learners count the number of like tiles to find the coefficient of each term. They finish...

What does it mean to factor the difference of two squares? The interactive presents an area model of the difference of two squares. Pupils rearrange the model to create a rectangular area. The learners determine the length and width...

Determine the area of a square with quadratics. Pupils use the interactive to visualize the process of completing the square. Scholars build a square area model to represent a quadratic expression then determine the amount that...

Create rectangles from the terms of a trinomial. The interactive provides virtual algebra tiles for participants to use to create quadratic trinomials. Pupils use the tiles and arrange them into a rectangle to find the factors of the...

Cover it up to reveal the values of variables. Using arrangements of colored tiles representing algebraic expressions, pupils layer them over each other to determine the values of variables. The procedure models the elimination method in...

A resource fit for a queen. Scholars recognize and continue a pattern in towers people are building for a queen. They write and use an algebraic expression for the number of tiles in the towers.

An interactive aids in understanding of how to complete the square for a quadratic equation. A set of five challenge questions tests this understanding.

Use tiles to represent variables and constants to solve algebra problems. Solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, and expand and factor.
