Introducing Algebra Tiles WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade, 7th Grade
CCSS: 6.EE.A.3, 7.EE.A.1
CCSS Description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

Introducing Algebra Tiles WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Algebra tiles provide a tangible way to represent abstract algebraic concepts. This hands-on approach helps students visualize and understand operations involving variables and constants. Set your students up for further algebraic manipulation by first introducing them to algebra tiles, in particular, collecting like terms.
Learners are introduced to the tiles and are then asked to match five expressions with the correct representation.
Then, in section B, students will draw algebra tiles to match 9 expressions.
Section C concludes the worksheet by asking students to write down nine expressions represented by more drawings of algebra tiles.
Tiles used are: x^2, - x^2, x, -x, 1 and -1.
