Friday Session F94 11:50- 12:40 103

Using Algebra Tiles to Illustrate Substitution Method to Factor
Trinomials

In this session, we offer a novel approach to factoring trinomials, that is not only
mathematically sound, but also explains many steps that go unjustified in other algorithms.
Furthermore, we highlight how the method can be carried out symbolically and with algebra
tiles, providing an additional tool to help students make sense.

Now You See It...

What's the best way to make math engaging and accessible for all students? Make it visual!
When students can access math visually, they make more connections and develop deeper
understanding. We'll explore number sense routines, hands-on activities, and tools that help to
build mathematical visuals for students.
