Algebra tiles / representation - delving deeper including introducing and using integers, as well as substitution and equation solving

From: Tom Manners - @Mannermatics

(Please be aware that emails from Eventbrite with the event link etc may appear in your junk mail folders!)

This next session (1st May) will delve deeper into how I like to use algebra tiles, and look at introducing integers and the four operations, as well as substitution and some solving equations also. We will use double-sided counters in the session also.

Given its content, I would suggest this is particularly useful for KS2-4 teachers.

You will receive an email on the morning of the event telling you how to dial in so please don't worry. Please check your junk mail folders for emails from Eventbrite.

Tickets will close at 9:50am and another email with the link will be sent at that time.

If you are interested to sign up to my next session on Thursday 7th May (not Friday due to Bank holiday) "Speak like a mathematician - the importance of the words we use in the maths classroom" - copy and paste this link - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/speak-like-a-mathematician-the-importance-of-the-words-we-use-in-the-maths-classroom-tickets-103800114938

If you missed the first session on introduction to the tiles as well as looking at collecting like terms, expanding brackets and factorising, then watch it here - https://youtu.be/qa9ug4qvsXY

And if you missed my session on "Teaching for Mastery? How about teaching for understanding! then you can watch that here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ChXhR2RzRg&t=1353s

Feedback is welcomed so do get in touch. Future sessions are being planned on:

- variation (KS1-4)

- speaking like a mathematician (KS1-4)

- mathematical thinking – questions to challenge understanding (KS1-4)

- bar modelling (KS2-4)

- worked examples and their role/ importance in the maths classroom (KS1-4)

- AFL in the maths classroom (KS2-4)
