Implement Algebra Tiles

Simplify algebraic expressions by dragging x, −x, 1, and −1 tiles onto an interactive workspace. Opposite tiles automatically cancel when brought close, showing the zero principle in action and helping students arrive at simplified forms like 3x − 2.

Yes. Drag-and-drop algebra tiles let students model expressions like 2x − 3 + x + 1 by placing tiles on a workspace. The system automatically cancels opposite pairs, making like-term combination and additive inverses tangible and observable.

Interactive algebra tiles provide a hands-on, visual approach to understanding abstract concepts. Students drag physical tile representations onto a workspace, observe real-time cancellations of opposites, and gain intuition about the zero principle through direct manipulation.

Yes. The skill is built with p5.js and designed for classroom and digital learning scenarios. It supports real-time drag-and-drop interaction, collision-based tile cancellation, visual feedback, equation display, and configurable tile types and workspace settings.

When opposite tiles (e.g., x and −x) are brought close on the workspace, they automatically cancel and turn grey, visually demonstrating the zero principle. Real-time feedback shows the simplified expression as cancellations occur.

Yes. Tile types (x, −x, 1, −1) and workspace settings are configurable, allowing you to tailor the interactive environment to different learning objectives and classroom contexts.
