Popis: | The relationship between algebra and arithmetic is not at all obvious to many students (Kieran 1992; Lee and Wheeler 1987; Vergnaud 1987). To help students make the connection between algebra and arithmetic, many researchers suggest that students should be exposed to multiple methods of representing problems, including pictures, models, tables, and graphs (Dufour-Janvier, Bednarz, and Belanger 1987; Vergnaud 1987). The NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989, 129–31) advocates that all students can and should learn algebra; however, some students will be capable of more abstraction than others. Encouraging multiple representations of problems is a way of accommodating students working at all levels of abstraction. |
