Learning Resources Magnetic Algebra Tiles (LER7641)

Algebra tiles are particularly useful for practicing adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers and polynomials, and factoring polynomials. The magnetic property is particularly useful, especially if you are running a classroom following Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms model. But even if you're not, the magnetic properties make it harder to lose tiles!

Good resource for modelling algebra on white boards.

Bastante practico

Ideally the unit size and the "x" size on the algebra tiles should not have a simple common multiple... otherwise in making the "rectangle" for the factoring of a polynomial students will try to match the 'x' side with a number of units. As shown in the photo, an "x" length is almost exactly 5 units in this set.This has caused significant confusion for my students, though one can "head it off" if aware of the issue. But it is very disappointing that this design has this flaw. I will have to make my own I guess and perhaps you should too.

Good for teaching pre algebra concepts.
