In recent years, the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics has recommended that algebra become a strand flowing throughout the K-12 curriculum, and the 2003 RAND Mathematics Study Panel has recommended that algebra be “the initial topical choice for focused and coordinated research and development [in K-12 mathematics].” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a rationale for a stronger and more sustained approach to algebra in school, as well as concrete examples of how algebraic reasoning may be developed in the early grades. It is organized around three themes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nature of Early Algebra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudents’ Capacity for Algebraic Thinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssues of Implementation: Taking Early Algebra to the Classrooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this landmark volume have been at the forefront of an effort to integrate algebra into the existing early grades mathematics curriculum. They include scholars who have been developing the conceptual foundations for such changes as well as researchers and developers who have led empirical investigations in school settings. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlgebra in the Early Grades aims to bridge the worlds of research, practice, design, and theory for educators, researchers, students, policy makers, and curriculum developers in mathematics education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239599460696,"sku":"9780805854732","price":89.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805854732_ff0aae82-84df-491d-9ce5-99463a0648b6.jpg?v=1778609741","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/algebra-in-the-early-grades","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
