PART TW0 – ALGEBRA TILES / Charge Method
Example: 8 – 6 = 2
1.
9–2
Put 9 positive tiles on the mat.
Take 2 positive tiles away.
How many do you have left? _______
2.
7–5
Put 7 positive tiles on your mat.
Take 5 positive tiles away.
How many do you have left? _______

4.
-3 – (-2)
Put 3 negative tiles on your mat.
Take 2 negative tiles away.
How many do you have left? _______
Start with 8.
Circle what
needs to be
taken away.
What’s left?
Answer:
Subtraction with “Zero Pairs”:
Example:
8 -10 = -2
Step One:
Step Two:
Step Three:
NOW,
take the
10 away!
Answer:
Do we have
10 positives
to take
away??
6.
. . . So, we have
to add 2 zero
pairs in order to
make 10
positives!
