Name
Using Algebra Tiles from Polynomials to Factoring
Description
In this hands-on session, teachers will explore algebra tiles, learning how to use them to build conceptual understanding of high school math topics. Seemingly mundane operations such as multiplying, factoring and completing the square come alive as students realize that numbers and letters are not the only way of representing these processes. Participants will practice solving problems in collaborative teams while experiencing the facilitation and questioning of a student-centered classroom. Participants will leave with a handout of student lessons ready for use in their classroom!
