Course description
Students will understand how variables behave in the same relationships with each other, as do numbers, without using traditional “rules.”
Following a brief review of Expressions and Equations Part 1 – Operations with Integers, participants will model algebraic expressions using Algebra Tiles and T-Charts. The outcome will be a deeper understanding of algebraic thinking and will assist students as they transition from working with numbers to the language of algebra.
