Algebra Tiles with Algebra Game Quadratic Equations
The
block models for algebra tiles have been around for several decades
and are still available from supplementary materials catalogs. These
blocks are similar to the Base Ten blocks, formerly known as Dienes’ Blocks,
but do not have the ten identifications. The tiles can be arranged
into areas that represent quadratic equations.
This relationship can be used in a classroom either as a class contest
or as an activity for cooperative groups. We have described one example
for both types of classroom arrangement. Teachers are encouraged
to use their own imaginations to improve on these suggestions.
