Algebraic Squares: Complete and Incomplete.
Gardella, Francis J.
Mathematics Teacher, v93 n4 p283-84 Apr 2000
Illustrates ways of using algebra tiles to give students a visual model of competing squares that appear in algebra as well as in higher mathematics. Such visual representations give substance to the symbolic manipulation and give students who do not learn symbolically a way of understanding the underlying concepts of completing the square. (KHR)
