In Mrs. Sinclair’s Algebra I class, students have been diving into the world of multistep equations and they’re doing it with a fun, hands-on twist! This week, students used algebra tiles to visually break down and solve complex equations. By physically representing variables and constants, algebra tiles help students better understand each step of the solving process. From combining like terms to isolating variables, our students are learning to think critically and solve equations with confidence.
