This document discusses using algebra tiles to represent trinomial and binomial expressions. For trinomials, it shows counting the number of tiles of each kind to represent the expression x^2 + 5x + 6. For binomials, it shows multiplying terms by counting the length of each side of the tiles in terms of x and combining them to represent expressions like (X+2)(X+3).
