By Unknown Author.
Description
The algebraic notation we use today allows for the compact representation of complex calculations and problems, however, that compactness can be a barrier to sense making. Teachers must help students reason through this barrier. Reasoning about and making sense of algebra are essential to students future success. This book examines the five key elements (meaningful use of symbols, mindful manipulation, reasoned solving, connection algebra with geometry, and linking expressions and functions) identified in Focus in High School Mathematics: Reasoning and Sense Making in more detail and elabor...
