Riassunto

Accessible Algebra: 30 Modules to Promote Algebraic Reasoning, Grades 7-10 is for any pre-algebra or algebra teacher who wants to provide a rich and fulfilling experience for students as they develop new ways of thinking through and about algebra.' The book includes 30 lessons that identify a focal domain and standard in algebra, then lays out the common misconceptions and challenges students may face as they work to investigate and understand problems.' Authors Anne Collins and Steven Benson conferred with students in real classrooms as the students explained what problem-solving strategies they were using or worked to ask the right questions that would lead them to a deeper understanding of algebra. Each scenario represents actual instances of an algebra classroom that demonstrate effective teaching methods, real-life student questions, and conversations about the problems at hand. 'Accessible Algebra' works for students at every level. In each lesson, there are sections on how to support struggling students, as well as ways to challenge students who may need more in-depth work. There are also numerous additional resources, including research articles and classroom vignettes.
