Pour the value of x into the expression, then collapse the tiles one legal step at a time — multiply before you add, parentheses first.
Each expression is built from tiles on a lab bench. Children pour the given x-value from a beaker into every x tile, then collapse the expression one legal operation at a time — multiply before you add, parentheses always first; wrong-order taps bounce, teaching order of operations by feel. Covers ax + b, a + bx, a(x + b), expressions where x appears twice, and x². A strong fit for Grades 4–6, or any child taking their first steps into algebra.
