Magnetic Algebra Tiles, Algebraic Math Skills, Magnets for Any Magnetic Surface, 72 Piece Set, Ages 11+

Very nice glide on the magnetic side, clear colors so that my students can see them from far away. Very useful when trying to show inverse operations when solving one step or two step equations. Awesome!

Using these in Summer school and can’t wait to use them in my classes in the fall! Great for teacher demonstration or for having students come to board to work. Magnets are a great strength! I will most likely purchase another set before school starts just to have more tiles!

I love these! I use base ten blocks whenever I can in class. It was great to have these accessible on my magnetic white board for the whole class to see. Sometimes it’s just easier to use the whiteboard than the smart board.

Great set of magnetic algebra tiles. The size is perfect and the magnets adhere well to my board. I highly recommend these for concrete manipulatives to help students learn algebraic thinking in a hands on way.

Algebra tiles are particularly useful for practicing adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers and polynomials, and factoring polynomials. The magnetic property is particularly useful, especially if you are running a classroom following Peter Liljedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms model. But even if you're not, the magnetic properties make it harder to lose tiles!

These are great to show the whole class how to use Algebra tiles. The students having trouble multiplying polynomials using traditional methods have used Algebra tiles to get a visual of what is going on. The one problem I have is that technically the bars which should have a width of 1 should not be able to make a side with length x. Most Algebra tiles have the same problem. The students think they can line up 5 of the 1's to make an x. If the tiles were cut more precisely this wouldn't be possible. This doesn't cause to many problems, I just tell the students they can't do that. If something happens to the set I have, I will definitely buy another. The teacher across the hall likes them so much she is probably going to buy her own set for next school year.

I like the colors, the powerful magnets and easy to use! We loved it!

I am pleased with the purchase but would like to offer some constructive advice to the maker/seller. There are no Y-squared tiles, no y-tiles, and no xy-tiles. The set I have will be great for solving quadratics but won't be useful for demonstrating two-variable equations. Please let me know if you make a set the does contain those tiles.

Good resource for modelling algebra on white boards.

Bastante practico

Ideally the unit size and the "x" size on the algebra tiles should not have a simple common multiple... otherwise in making the "rectangle" for the factoring of a polynomial students will try to match the 'x' side with a number of units. As shown in the photo, an "x" length is almost exactly 5 units in this set. This has caused significant confusion for my students, though one can "head it off" if aware of the issue. But it is very disappointing that this design has this flaw. I will have to make my own I guess and perhaps you should too.

Just normal Algebra Tiles. Just so-so.
