Substitution - Using Algebra Tiles WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade
CCSS: 6.EE.A.2.C
CCSS Description: Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2.
Substitution - Using Algebra Tiles WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Algebra tiles help to bridge the gap between abstract algebra and concrete understanding. This worksheet is an ideal first step for learners being introduced to substituting into basic formulas, as it utilizes algebra tiles. Students will 'build' expressions with the tiles before substituting a numerical value in place of š.
In Section A, students will substitute the value 3 into single and two-step expressions, while in Section B, they will substitute the value -7. In both sections, learners are asked to represent the expressions using algebra tiles twice: first with the variables, and then with the numerical value substituted. Students can either draw the tiles or use physical ones.
