Help young minds explore algebraic concepts
This book shows teachers how to create a strong foundation in algebra for very young children. Using in-depth math “explorations,” the author unpacks—step by step—the hidden connections to higher algebra. Each exploration contains an elegantly simple grade-banded lesson (on addition, subtraction, patterns, and odd and even numbers), followed by a discussion of the lesson's algebra connections, as well as suggestions for additional problems to explore. Throughout, readers will find:
- Clear explanations of algebraic connections
- Specific strategies for teaching the key ideas of algebra
- Lesson modifications for older or younger students
- An array of age-appropriate problems and games
