  1. ALGEBRA TILES The University of Texas at Dallas

  2. INTRODUCTION • Algebra tiles can be used to model algebraic expressions and operations with algebraic expressions. • There are three types of tiles: 1. Large square with x as its length and width. 2. Rectangle with x and 1 as its length and its width 3. Small square with 1 as its length and width. x 1 1 x 1 x The University of Texas at Dallas

  3. INTRODUCTION • Each tile represents an area. x Area of large square = x (x) = x2 x 1 x Area of rectangle = 1 (x) = x 1 1 Area of small square = 1 (1) = 1 The University of Texas at Dallas

  4. INTRODUCTION • Does an x-tile need to be any particular length? • Does its length matter? • x-tile does not have to be a particular length because it represents a variable. Its length does not matter. NOTE FOR TUTOR The University of Texas at Dallas

  5. ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS • To model 2x2, you need 2 large squares x2 x2 The University of Texas at Dallas

  6. AGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS • To model x2 + 3x, you need 1 large square and 3 rectangles x2 x x x The University of Texas at Dallas

  7. ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS • How would you model 2x2 + x + 4? ANSWER x2 x2 x 1 1 1 1 The University of Texas at Dallas

  17. ALGEBRAIC ADDITION • Find the sum: • (x + 3) + (2x + 4) ANSWER x x x x x x + 1 1 1 = 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 (x + 3) + (2x + 4) = 3x + 7 The University of Texas at Dallas

  18. ALGEBRAIC ADDITION • Find the sum: • (x2 + 3) + (2x2 + x + 2) ANSWER x2 x2 + x2 x2 = x2 x 1 1 1 x 1 1 1 1 1 x2 1 1 (x2 + 3) + (2x2 + x +2) = 3x2 + x + 5 The University of Texas at Dallas

  19. ALGEBRAIC SUBTRACTION • To use algebra tiles to model subtraction, represent each expression with tiles. Put the second expression under the first. • (5x + 4) – (2x + 3) Now remove the tiles which match in each expression. 5x + 4 x x x x x The answer is the expression that is left. 1 1 1 1 x x 2x + 3 1 1 1 (5x + 4) – (2x + 3)= 3x +1 The University of Texas at Dallas
