Algebra Tiles
Product Code : JA-MLI-1729
Algebra Tiles (SKU JA-MLI-1729) are square and rectangular manipulative tiles that students use to model polynomials and work through factoring by hand. The set has three types of tile, each made in two colours, so that positive and negative terms can be shown side by side. Arranging the tiles gives a visual picture of a polynomial such as 5x² + 3x + 9, which students can then rearrange to add, subtract, multiply or factor. JaincoLab makes the set in Ambala, India for school maths labs.
Specifications
The set comprises three types of square and rectangular algebra tiles, each supplied in two colours to separate positive and negative terms; the listing does not state the tile count, sizes or the exact colours, which are confirmed on the quotation.
