The algebra tiles have 2 sides 1 x Red side is the negative side.
Zero Pairs Zero Pairs Don t use cancel out for zeros. Use zero pairs or add up to zero. + - - +

What is: 6 + 2 + + + + + = + + + + + + + + + + + +
Work out 6 + -2 + + - + + = + + - + + + + +
What is: -(3) + -(4) - - - - = + - - - - - - - - - -
Work out + 8 - (+ 4) + + + + + + = - + + + + + + - - + + - - + +
Work out: - 4 - (+ 2) - - - - - + = - + - - - - - - -
Example 5 - 3 - (- 5) + - - + = - + + + - - + - - + - + -
2 + 3 6 + (- 4) = 5 = 2 3 - 5 = 3 + (- 5) = - 2 2- (- 5) = 2 + 5 = 7
2 + 3 3 + 2 = 5 = 5 = - 2 3 + (- 5) (- 5) + 3 = -2
2 + 3 + 5 = 10 = 10 3 + 2 + 5 = 10 5 + 3 + 2
4 + (- 5) + 3 = 2 = 2 3 + 4 + (- 5) (- 5) + 3 + 4 = 2
Example 6 3 (-1) (-4) = 3 + 1 + 4 + - - + + + - + + + - + + + - +
Example 7 5 (-3) 5 = 5 + 3 - 5 + - - + + - - - - + + + - - - + + + - - + + - - + +
