Learning Resources Algebra Tile Class Set

Soy maestra y trabajo con adolescentes. El material me parece de calidad pero sus piezas son pequeñas y son menos fáciles de manipular. Realmente esperaba que fueran un poco más grandes. Las bolsitas individuales con material para cada alumnos, en la foto aparecen con una etiqueta cada uno y en realidad vienen sin dicha etiqueta. Esto hace que yo sienta que me muestran una forma y llega de otra. Estuve con la idea de regresarlo.

There is nothing else like them. They work. I found algebra tile mat templates on-line to organize tile placement and optimize on-task learning. Moves division to an inverse of multiplication like nothing I have ever been able to explain. Shows simplifying expressions and like terms. Once you see what they can do for your classroom you will wonder why they aren't mandatory for sixth grade ! Be sure to invest in zip top freezer bags for storage.

The strength of the magnets is great for use on white boards.

I use these tiles to teach students with disabilities who are enrolled in high school. Before moving on to models and abstract symbols, it is important for students to have access to manipulatives, which is something that teachers are well aware of. Students, after receiving the appropriate instruction, will be able to utilize these tiles to represent virtually any algebraic topic.

We shared these tiles between two classrooms and let the students work in pairs. Some of them began breaking apart, but they were still useful in the classroom.
