Algebraic thinking and reasoning should be developed across the grades, even in the elementary grades, and doing so can support the critical transition from arithmetic to algebra.

This project seeks to enable teachers to fully-leverage interactive simulations to advance student engagement and learning of mathematics, moving technology from the margins to a core part of ...

Mathematicians and educators say that students need to be introduced gradually to algebraic concepts throughout the elementary school years. The only question is how to teach it. Includes an ...

algebraic thinking, geometry and measurement (and) data analysis and probability,” said Peske. In California, 30% of fourth-grade students lack basic math skills, according to the most recent results ...

This task sets the foundation for algebraic thinking without learners even knowing it. Algebra, often perceived as a scary word by many learners, becomes less scary through a numberless/textless task.

A novel approach to critical thinking is to emulate the mathematical approach to equations, using inversion. It encourages us to approach information in a contrary way.

When it comes to critical thinking, we are at the mercy of our brain’s own psychological predispositions, which make us naturally poor at thinking impartially. Confirmation bias encourages us to ...
