students with an open-ended tool for exploring fundamental math
concepts. The use of a Color Tiles is a way to give students
insight into a variety of important mathematical topics.
Students place Color Tiles on an interactive Playground to
represent mathematical ideas. Very young children can learn
positional terms such as above, below, right, and left while
creating colorful designs. Equivalency and related concepts for
example, equal to, not equal, more, less, greater than, and less
than are easily represented using Color Tiles. The basic
operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
