摘要註
"Drawing on rich classroom observations of educators teaching in China and the U.S., this book details an innovative and effective approach to teaching algebra at elementary level through "example-based problem solving". Recognizing young children's particular cognitive and developmental capabilities, this book powerfully argues for the importance of infusing algebraic thinking into early grade math teaching, and illustrates how this has been achieved by teachers in US and Chinese contexts. Documenting best practice and students' responses to example-based instruction, the text demonstrates that this approach - which involves the use of worked examples, representations, and deep questions - helps students identify connections between concrete and abstract representations, making it highly effective in developing algebraic readiness and mathematical understanding. This text will benefit post-graduate students, researchers, and academics in the fields of mathematics, STEM, and elementary education, as well as algebra research more broadly. Those interested in teacher education, classroom practice, and developmental and cognitive psychology will also find this volume of interest.
