Introducing TakTiles

Algebra Through Geometry: Geoff Giles

TakTiles Jigsaw YouTube demonstration

With thanks to Matt Skoss for the introduction and to Phil Todd for the wonderful GXWeb, which makes tools like this possible!

Hide Intro

Tak Tiles were designed by Geoff Giles for the DIME (Developments in Mathematics Education) Project. This live web version supports three levels of interaction for students:

1. Jigsaw Mode: A simple jigsaw puzzle for students to move the pieces into their appropriate positions.

2. Exploration Mode: Students can select a shape and try dragging \(x\) and \(y\) tiles to match it - with the chance to display the current algebraic expression as they work. They can use check mode to verify their work.

3. Challenge Mode: Working without a net this time, random tiles are offered, and students try to express each in terms of \(x\) and \(y\) - but without the displayed expression to assist them.

About the MathBoxes...

Hint: When entering mathematical expressions in the math boxes below (f(x), g(x) and h(x)), use the space key to step out of fractions, powers, etc. On Android, begin entry by pressing Enter.

Type simple mathematical expressions and equations as you would normally enter these: for example, "x^2[space]-4x+3", and "2/3[space]". For more interesting elements, use Latex notation (prefix commands such as "sqrt" and "nthroot3" with a backslash (\)): for example: "\sqrt(2)[space][space]". Learn More?

QR Codes are a great way to share data and information with others, even when no Internet connection is available. Most modern devices either come equipped with QR readers in-built, or freely available. The default link here is the GXWeb Jigsaws and Quizzes, but you can use it as an alternative to sending your assessment data via email, web or share with others in your class. You can even use it to send your own messages!
