Of, relating to, or designating algebra. 2. Designating an expression, equation, or function in which only numbers, letters, and arithmetic operations are contained or used. 3. and to learn algebra. Rather than regarding Early Algebra as accelerated instruction, the authors advocate an approach that highlights the algebraic character of existing topics in the early mathematics curriculum. Contained on the CD-ROM are additional text and video footage that help to convey the children's understanding of the tasks proposed by the researchers. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
