CT 267 - Promoting Algebraic Ideas in K-8 Classrooms


Semester Hours: 3
Spring, Summer
This course is designed to explore how algebraic thinking does fit into the elementary school mathematics curriculum. Both content and pedagogy will be explored simultaneously. Algebra in this context is treated as way of thinking about number and mathematical relationships and as a powerful tool for deepening students’ understanding of mathematics lessons and investigate a variety of problems that can be used with students to foster their algebraic reasoning. Participants will read and discuss relevant research on the importance of promoting algebraic thinking and organize algebraic activities using the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and the New York State Mathematics Learning Standards as guides.
