Blog#2 algebra tiles and variables

In today’s lesson we learned the different “algebra tiles”. We learned why they have there letters (name). We also learned that you can’t add them you just can simplify the equation. Lastly we learned the different shapes and how to rewrite it in a smaller way.

blog#3 finding perimeter and like terms

Today in class we learned how to find the perimeter with algebra tiles. We learned that the (perimeter) only talks about the outside of the shape not the inside that the (area). We also learned that is a shape is together and covers one part of the other shape it will turn into a negative (-) number.

blog#5 representing expressions on a mat

Based on the equation you get you can see what tiles go on what you see is what you get side. Second of all them you can see in what side on the mat goes the opposite of what you see. Then you can start doing your legal moves to simplify your expression.

blog#6usong zeros to simplify

There are different ways on how to make zeros in a equation mat. You can cancel two tile one has to be positive and the other has to be negative. Another way to make zero is to take away tiles that you see in both mats. This are the two ways that you can make zeros to simplify your equation.

Blog#7 simplifying expressions or comparing

To make zeros in a expression mat is you see the opposite tile you can take away them because they all equal zero. Also another way to simplify the expression is if you see the same tile on both mats you can take them away because you know they have the same amount and can take it away.

blog#8solution of an equation

Based on our newest lessons we have learned how to simplify equations and finding the vale of X. Today we learned what are true, no solution,and false problems. If you end up with to numbers that are equal and without tiles them that’s a true equation, but when you have a it has a positive and a negative number then that’s a false equation.
