3 - 5 Algebraic Thinking - Activities
- About teaching mathematics: K-8 (ENC-008504) The goal of this book is to help educators implement mathematics instruction that develops students who feel mathematically secure, use numbers confidently to come to decisions, understand mathematical principles, and can apply their understanding to problem solving situations. The three parts of the book address basic math education topics, 200 classroom problem-solving activities, and the changing nature of mathematics instruction.
- Algebra : puzzles and problems, grade 4 (ENC-016336) This resource book for grade 4 teachers, part of the ALGEBRA PUZZLES AND PROBLEMS series, contains reproducible prealgebra problem sets. Activities include graphing and locating points, exploring inverse functions, and replacing variables with numbers to make true equations. The series, developed for grades 4 to 7, aims to make connections between arithmetic and algebra by developing concepts that include representation; proportional and inductive reasoning; and variable, function, and equality.
- Algebra puzzles and problems. Grade 5. (ENC-015320) This resource book for grade 5 teachers, part of the ALGEBRA PUZZLES AND PROBLEMS series, contains reproducible pre-algebra problem sets with activities such as graphing, extending lattice patterns of numbers, and exploring functions with input/output problems. This series for grades 4 to 7 aims to make connections between arithmetic and algebra by developing concepts that include representation, proportional and inductive reasoning, and variable, function, and equality.
- Family math: The middle school years. Algebraic reasoning and number sense. (ENC-014148) This resource book, written for parents of students in grades 5 to 8 and useful for their teachers, is filled with fun, instructive, and nonthreatening math activities for families or small class groups to enjoy together. Most activities involve several integrated math concepts rather than isolated skills and aim to promote better student understanding and mathematics achievement. Algebraic thinking and the development of number sense are the focus of this book designed to help prepare students for advanced high school mathematics. The mathematics behind each activity is explained in notes to the reader.
- Groundworks. Grade 3 : algebraic thinking (ENC-017087) This activity book, designed for grade 3, makes key connections between arithmetic and algebra and develops six core ideas of algebra: representation, proportional reasoning, balance, variable, function, and inductive reasoning. The book contains general teacher information, fifteen blackline master problem sets, teaching notes and solutions for the first page of each problem set, answers for all problems, and a bibliography.
- Ideas: NCTM standards-based instruction-grades K-4 (ENC-007841) This National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) book is meant for use as a resource for mathematics teachers in grades K to 4. The book consists of a collection of lessons from 1991 to 1994 issues of the journal ARITHMETIC TEACHER: MATHEMATICS EDUCATION THROUGH THE MIDDLE GRADES. Each activity sheet has been edited from its journal form for clarity and brevity.
