摘要：This research aimed to describe how algebra tiles can support students' understanding of linear equations with one variable.This article is a part of a larger research on learning design of linear equations with one variable using algebra tiles combined with balancing method. Therefore, it will merely discuss one activity focused on how students use the algebra tiles to find a method to solve linear equations with one variable.Design research was used as an approach in this study.It consists of three phases, namely preliminary design, teaching experiment and retrospective analysis.Video registrations, students' written works, pre-test, post-test, field notes, and interview are technic to collect data.The data were analyzed by comparing the hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) and the actual learning process.The result shows that algebra tiles could supports students' understanding to find the formal solution of linear equation with one variable.
