Help me give my students a deeper understanding on how integers, variables and equations work together. Algebra tiles are a concrete way for students to develop a conceptual, algebraic understanding of solving equations.
Algebra tiles are a tactile way for students to learn the foundations of solving equations. This skill is used in almost every aspect of high school math.
My goal for this project is to put Algebra tiles in the hands of all students the first week of school.
This will set the tone that learning is accessible and attainable for all students.
The students at my school often struggle to find success in math classes. Algebra tiles provides ALL students a chance to truly understand why the math works before they can apply it. Using the tiles will allow students an opportunity to gain a conceptual understanding of how to solve equations.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
