ALGEBRA TILES and the
Distributive Property

 Visit the Virtual Library of Manipulatives Algebra Tiles activity and work on the problems below. 

 Follow these tips for multiplying using the algebra tiles:

 1) Maximize and Clear the work area

2) Drag and drop the tiles that represent the factors from the expressions below to the “sideline” areas

3) Drag and Drop the tiles that represent the product to the work area. This is your answer!

Model the following algebraic expression using algebra tiles, then fill-in the resulting products below:

 

a)

2(3) =

 

b)

2(x) =

 

c)

6(x) =

 

d)

2x(3x) =

 

e)

2(x + 1) =

 

f) 

3(x + 3) =  

 

g)

3(x + 7) =   

 

h)

4(x + 5) =

 

i) 

2x(x + 4) =          

 

j) 

(3 + y)2y =  

 

k)

3y(y + 5) =  

 

l)

5x(x + 5) =
