We were also busy solving one and two-step equations using integer tiles. A few months ago we used zero pairs when we worked with integers, but we discovered that zero pairs also come in handy when solving algebraic equations (2x + 1 = −5). Integer tiles allow us to visually see and understand why we need to isolate our variable. It builds a conceptual understanding prior to working only with numbers.
