Meet Michelle
Hi, my name is Michelle, and I love mathematics. I hope
that my enthusiasm for the subject shows in my products.
I received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Utah.
I then continued my education to become a certified
teacher. I also have taken various masters classes about
math pedagogy including topics such as developing a
growth mindset in the math classroom, the common core
and connecting topics throughout the grade levels, team-
teaching with a special-education teacher, and modeling
with mathematics.
I taught middle school mathematics for six years. In addition to my regular classes, I
also taught remediation math and honors math. I set up my classroom curriculum for
students to use higher-order thinking skills on a daily basis. I currently am a math curriculum
designer, creating materials to help students make sense of math.

HEY EDUCATOR!
Help your students master middle school math with
algebra tiles.

Algebra Tiles
Algebra tiles are so great for hands on learning with expressions
and equations. Students conceptually learn about variables and
constants with these tiles. Using Algebra tiles in my classroom has
extremely increased retention of working with expressions and
equations.
Buying the actual blocks can be pricey. Print off and cut these to
use for your students. Laminate them for classroom use or have each
student cut out their own set.
Includes:
• 6 pages of guided notes
• Tiles for x, x2, y, y2, 1, xy
• 3 formats
1) Black outline with tiles labeled
2) Colored tiles not labeled
3) Black outline and not labeled. These are to print out
on colored paper. All the tiles of the same color are on
the same sheet of paper with this format.
