Bracket Expansion Demo – Hands-On Algebra Montessori Learning Tool

Make learning algebra hands-on and engaging with this Montessori-inspired bracket expansion puzzle! 

Designed for upper elementary students (grades 4-6), this interactive math demonstration helps children visually and physically explore the distributive property of multiplication:

(A+B)×(C+D) =

(A×C) + (A×D) + (B×C) + (B×D)

How It Works:
The color-coded blocks fit snugly into the base but can be removed and rearranged, allowing students to physically interact with each term of the equation.
A matching equation plate reinforces the expansion, encouraging both visual and tactile learning.
 

Printing Recommendations:
Printer Used: Bambulab X1 Carbon
Material: PLA filament
Settings: 15% infill, 3 walls
Color Printing: Recommended for better differentiation and text readability, but a single-color print still works well!
