Algebra in the Early Grades *REDUCED*

James J. Kaput, David W. Carraher & Maria L. Blanton (eds)

This book is the result of approximately 15 years of thinking, research, and collective discussion about the role of algebra in school mathematics. With a goal of contributing to a comprehensive, research-based “early algebra story”, it tackles big questions from a variety of perspectives that address different aspects of the story.

The collection of papers is intended for a diverse audience including researchers, teachers, teacher educators and policymakers. If you’ve ever wondered about the nature of early algebra, about the extent of young students’ capacity for algebraic thinking, or about ways in which early algebra might be taken into the classroom, then this book is for you.
