Patterns and functions : what's their connection to algebra? Fancy fences : the lesson (grades 4-5) -- Behind fancy fences : algebra connections -- Beyond fancy fences : more problems to explore -- Exploration III. Making sense of multiplication : the importance of the distributive property. Multiplication musings : the lesson (grades 3-4) -- Behind multiplication musings : algebra connections -- Beyond multiplication musings : more problems to explore -- Exploration IV. Fundamentals of rational numbers : beyond part-whole relationships. Fractions in action : from work with teachers, students, and parents (grades 3-5) -- Final thoughts.
Summary: Planting the Seeds of Algebra will empower teachers with theoretical and practical knowledge about both the content and pedagogy of algebraic instruction, showing them the different faces of algebra as it appears in the early years.
