Topic 7b Homework
1. The following is Tile Sequence A
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Use algebra pieces to build the nth figure for Tile Sequence A. Sketch the nth
figure. Clearly label your diagram. Explain your thinking.
2. The following is Tile Sequence B.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
Use algebra pieces to build the nth figure for Tile Sequence B. Sketch the nth
figure. Clearly label your diagram. Explain your thinking.
3. You can see that figures 3 in Sequence A and Sequence B have the same
number of tiles. Use the nth figure models to explain why this is this case. For
each step with the algebra pieces, include a clearly labeled diagram and the
corresponding symbolic steps in a two column fashion as illustrated below.
Briefly explain your thinking.
