Algebra Tiles Classroom Set

Make Algebra Click with Hands-On Learning. Bring abstract algebra to life with the Algebra Tiles Classroom Set - a dynamic, tactile resource designed to help students visualise and explore key mathematical concepts. From simplifying expressions to factoring polynomials, this versatile kit allows learners to physically manipulate pieces, promoting deeper understanding through active participation.

Designed for upper primary to secondary students, the complete set supports up to 30 students working individually or in pairs. It also includes a teacher transparency set for easy, whole-class demonstrations-no document projector needed.

The double-sided, colour-coded tiles clearly distinguish between positive and negative values, making it easier to grasp operations with integers and algebraic expressions. This approach is especially effective for visual and kinaesthetic learners, and is recommended by educators for improving engagement and comprehension.

Backed by a 40-page teacher guide, the Algebra Tiles Set supports structured learning with clear activities and lesson ideas that align with the curriculum.

Educational Benefits:

• Builds strong conceptual understanding through visual and physical modelling
