This is an algebra tiles lesson in factoring polynomials. The link found a the bottom of the page links to an index of over two hundred lesson plans in various mathematical topics.

Use tiles to represent variables and constants to solve algebra problems. Solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, and expand and factor.

In this lesson plan, students will engage in shared reading with the Kevin Henkes' book, Chrysanthemum. Then students will engage in a letter tiles activity that requires them to compare the length of their own names with the name...

How can you describe this shape's perimeter and area? Students review expectations and work together to solve problems about area and perimeter.

Try this hands-on approach to solving algebra problems with this interactive website. Students are able to "solve equations, substitute in variable expressions, expand, and factor".

This cross-curricular middle school unit integrates mathematics and visual art. Through the study of the M.C. Escher?s work, learners explore tiling from both a mathematical and artistic point of view. Points for discussion and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students will connect the concepts of counting each square unit and multiplying the side lengths to compute the area of a rectangle. They will extend this knowledge by computing a side...

Includes lesson, practice exercise, and teacher resource on how to factor quadratic equations. You'll find examples for using the factoring and graphing methods for solving, a twelve-question quiz with hints and answers, and a suggested...

The design project examines geometric shapes, color harmonies, and composition. An instructor sheet and student handout are included.

This lesson plan helps students explore the mathematical concept of area and features resource links to further learning. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.a Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it

Given a quadratic equation, the student will use tiles to factor and solve the equation.

Click on the squares to move the tiles and create the correct pattern. A fun way to explore the concept of tessellations.

Test your memory while you learn about eclipses of the Sun. Click on tiles to reveal pictures of solar eclipses and maps of the path of the November 2012 eclipse in Australia. Try to find matching pairs of pictures.

This review lesson about basic shapes (polygons)contains varied hands-on exercises and tilings about triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons.

This lesson plan deals with tessellations and their geometric concepts. Upper elementary and middle school students will also explore polygons, symmetry, analyze patterns and explore the role of mathematics in nature and culture.
