Algebra Tiles
Algebra Tiles (Product Code: SLE/MAT/18) are a hands-on manipulative used to add, subtract and multiply polynomials, factorise them, solve linear equations and model integers in school algebra lessons. The set has three types of tiles in two colours each, typically red for negative and blue for positive. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Are Algebra Tiles Used For?
With Algebra Tiles, students model an expression by laying out tiles, and the two colours show sign at a glance: a red tile and a blue tile of the same type cancel as a zero pair. In the usual convention the three shapes stand for a unit, x and x squared, so collecting like terms becomes a matter of grouping tiles of the same shape.
For multiplication, tiles are arranged into a rectangle whose sides are the two factors; working backwards from a rectangle shows factorising. Linear equations are solved by keeping both sides balanced as tiles are added or removed. Used this way, the tiles give school maths lab equipment a real role in algebra.
OEM Manufacturer
Algebra Tiles are an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name. They are made at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to schools, tutoring centres, dealers and importers.
Repeat orders for further class sets are handled by the manufacturer itself, so ask us when you need more. Learn about the company on our company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colours are Algebra Tiles?
Algebra Tiles come in two colours for each of the three tile types, typically red for negative tiles and blue for positive tiles. The colour contrast lets students see signs instantly and cancel a red and blue pair of the same type.
How many tiles are in a set of Algebra Tiles?
The number of tiles per set of Algebra Tiles is not listed on this page. Please ask through our contact page for the current set contents, especially when ordering enough sets for a full class.
Can Algebra Tiles be used to solve linear equations?
Yes, Algebra Tiles can be used to solve linear equations. Students model each side of the equation with tiles, then add or remove the same tiles from both sides until the variable tile stands alone.
Should I choose Algebra Tiles or the Algebra Kit?
Choose Algebra Tiles for operations on polynomials, factorising, linear equations and integers using positive and negative tiles. The Algebra Kit uses labelled tiles aimed at polynomials in two variables, so schools may use it at a later stage.
Who manufactures Algebra Tiles?
Algebra Tiles on this page are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Every quotation and order for the tiles is handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can Algebra Tiles be supplied in bulk?
Yes, Algebra Tiles are available in bulk. Schools may order one set per pair or group, and dealers and importers in India and international markets can request larger quantities. Give the number of sets and the delivery location when you enquire.
