NC NAEP Project Module 3 - Activity 3 Doing and Analyzing Early Algebra Problems from NAEP Elementary Module 3, Activity 3
Goals • Develop understanding of what algebraic thinking is and how it builds through the elementary grades and beyond. • Examine a collection of NAEP items to see how algebraic topics may be represented for elementary school children. Elementary Module 3, Activity 3
Goals • Learn why some algebraic topics are being included in the elementary school mathematics curriculum • guiding understanding of relations such as equality and inequality • developing recognition of growing and repeating patterns • describing patterns using variable expressions and equations • developing recognition of functional relationships illustrated in tabular format). Elementary Module 3, Activity 3
Algebra Strand NAEP Problems Individually, examine the provided set of NAEP problems. • Solve the problem. If possible, look for at least two ways to solve each problem. • Make a list of the mathematical and specifically, algebraic concepts emphasized in the task. Elementary Module 3, Activity 3
Algebra Strand NAEP Problems In your group examine the provided set of NAEP problems. Record on your chart paper: • At least two different solution paths for each problem. • Make a list of the mathematical and specifically, algebraic concepts emphasized in the task. Elementary Module 3, Activity 3
