351- Using Algebra Tiles from Integers to Factoring

Friday, April 15, 2011: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
White River Ballroom A/B (JW Marriott)
Lead Speaker:
Virginia A. Head
Co-speakers:
Christine Mikles and Lonnie Bellman

See how successful manipulatives can be in a secondary school classroom. Participants will engage actively in using algebra tiles in a variety of situations. They will explore operations on polynomials all the way through factoring and completing the square. The important part will be transitioning from the concrete (manipulative) to the abstract (paper and pencil).

Presentation Format: 9-12 Gallery Workshop
