2. Find the following Algebra Tiles…
Trace each of these Algebra Tiles on your notes.
Name each tile by its area.
The red side of each tile represents… one negative unit!
1 unit
x units
y units
1 unit
Area/Name:
“1 UNIT TILE”
The other (“non-red”) side of the tile represents… one positive unit!
1 unit
Area/Name:
“X TILE”
1 unit
Area/Name:
“Y UNIT TILE”

3. Multiplication and Division Equations
The variables, x and y, represent missing values in our equations today.
Our job is to find the value of the variable by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.
