Comparing Algebra Tiles to Integer Tiles is a representation of +1 because it has an area of 1. Length = 1 Width = 1 is a representation of -1 because the size stays the same, but the sign/colour changes. What relationships do you notice between the measurements of the integer tile and the algebra tiles?
1 1 x 1 x x Therefore, represents x, and represents x2 Comparing Algebra Tiles to Integer Tiles The width of the rectangle is 1 and the length can be represented by x. The length and width of the large square are the same as x.
