Algebra tiles can help make abstract concepts concrete for children and teens. They provide something that learners can manipulate so that they can visually see how numbers and variables interact.
If you are looking for some tiles your child or teen can use, I have a list of websites for you today that have free printable algebra tiles. Some of these sites also have tips and instructions for using the tiles if you are unsure of how to do so.
