Building Understanding from Algebra Tiles: From Concrete to Concept Mathematics Online Series Virtual - 34374
Ignite your students’ curiosity and confidence in algebra with the power of hands-on learning through Algebra Tiles! In this hands-on session, educators will discover how to use Algebra Tiles within the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) instructional sequence to build students’ conceptual understanding of polynomials and multiplication. By engaging with Algebra Tiles, participants will develop a structured progression for teaching polynomials that begins with concrete manipulation, transitions to visual representations, and culminates in abstract conceptualization. Educators will also design a formative assessment aligned with this progression, enabling them to create student-centered plans for mastery. This session equips teachers with tools and strategies to make polynomial concepts accessible, engaging, and deeply understood, empowering students to succeed in algebra and beyond. This session offers practical tools and strategies for making complex math accessible and engaging, fostering a deeper understanding for all learners. In this self-paced online session, participants will engage in interactive learning tasks using Desmos Classroom platform.
