Visualizing Algebra

Funded Sep 5, 2013

Thank you so much for your contributions to my Visualizing Algebra project. The students have been using the Algebra Tiles to create their own patterns and write the algebraic expressions that generate those patterns. It has helped them better understand the concepts because they have a hands-on model to use, but also allows them the ability to show their creativity as well.

I hope you get a chance to see the interesting and diverse designs they created in the pictures I will be uploading to the Donors' Choose site. Their final projects were inspired by the explorations they did in class with the tiles. It is always wonderful to see the students engaged in the material, challenged to think critically about what they are learning, and their pride in the work they produced as a result.

Your generosity is very much appreciated. I am grateful you chose my project. Thank you on behalf of myself and also my students!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Cuenca
