Color Tiles

Color Tiles are a versatile collection of 1-inch squares in red, green, yellow and blue. Easy to manipulate, these simple tiles can be used by students to develop a wide variety of mathematical ideas at many different levels of complexity. Color Tiles are very important early number models that can help students develop logical and abstract thinking as they make grids, develop patterns, and form conjectures. They are ideal for understanding many important mathematical concepts including:

  • Addition
  • Multiplication
  • Algebra
  • Measurement
  • Geometry
  • Patterns and Functions
  • Probability and Statistics
  • Logic
