Concrete Algebra: Pattern Builders

In this series of activities, students are presented with the same pattern of matchsticks built in different ways - and each has a different algebraic form. A graduated help facility is offered, allowing students to choose the level of help they need to answer the questions about each pattern, and to build these using algebraic form and table of values.

Number Patterns: PAS4.2

Creates, records, analyses and generalises number patterns using words and algebraic symbols in a variety of ways

Concrete Algebra: Expression Builder

In this document, students use algebra tiles to build algebraic expressions. They can change the value of x and build multiple representations, dynamically building concrete, algebraic and graphical forms.

Algebraic Techniques: PAS4.3

Uses the algebraic symbol system to simplify, expand and factorise simple algebraic expressions Algebraic Techniques

Steve Arnold

Concrete Algebra: Equation Builder

Using algebra tiles, students build equations and then establish the equality of both sides by dragging the "x-ball" to set the two sides of the scale to be equal. They can then solve the equation, by dragging the same shapes on and off the two sides.

Algebraic Techniques: PAS4.4

Uses algebraic techniques to solve linear equations and simple inequalities

Algebra Sentences

An algebraic word sentence, such as "3 more than n", is generated within the spreadsheet, and students must enter the simplified form.

Algebraic Techniques: PAS4.1

Uses letters to represent numbers and translates between words and algebraic symbols
