Early algebraic thinking and the US mathematics standards for grades K to 5 /El pensamiento algebraico temprano y los estándares matemáticos en la Educación Primaria (6–12 años) en Estados Unidos

Abstract: We relate studies of algebraic thinking in elementary school (grades K-5, ages five to 10) to current mathematics standards in the United States. Classroom research increasingly paints a promising picture of the potential of young students to learn to think algebraically. This confirms the overall judgment behind recommendations to create a K-12 algebra strand (for ages five to 17) but leaves a host of challenges regarding the implementation of algebraic thinking activities in classrooms and, more generally, t… Show more

“…The prevailing pedagogical approach dictated that students should first master arithmetic before delving into the realm of algebra (Adamuz-Povedano et al, 2021;Banerjee, 2011). This sequential approach, contingent upon a solid foundation in arithmetic (Carraher & Schliemann, 2019). However, this approach frequently leaves students ill-prepared for the cognitive transition from the tangible to the abstract (Anderson, 2000).…”

“…Solving problems or demonstrating the veracity of a conjecture is impossible to accomplish without the use of mathematical reasoning. In both, solving problems and demonstrating conjectures are ways of developing mathematical reasoning [18][19][20][21]. The connections between different contents, the communication and representations used by the students are the basis of the developed mathematical reasoning, leading to decision-making in the learning process of each student.…”

“…In fact, patterns are a concrete representation of functional relationships. Therefore, FPG have a unique capacity to promote functional thinking (Markworth, 2010;Rivera, 2013) as a gateway into algebraic thinking (Carraher & Schliemann, 2019). Thus, studying and exploring the mental constructs of students in FPG may help to facilitate this promotion.…”
