White, Isabel; Foster, Michael; Lobato, Joanne – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
Making sense of algebraic expressions in context is multifaceted and extends beyond representing real-world situations using algebra. As part of Project MathTalk, the authors created videos that feature a pair of Grade 9 algebra 1 students coming to understand algebraic expressions in context. The students found three aspects of making sense of…

Durkin, Kelley; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Star, Jon R.; Loehr, Abbey – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Productive learning of algebra is supported when students reflect on multiple strategies, compare them and discuss the rationale behind and relative merits of particular strategies. Comparison and Discussion of Multiple Strategies (CDMS) is an instructional approach designed to support these processes in math classrooms. In the current study, 16…

Ünal, Zehra E.; Ala, Asli M.; Kartal, Gamze; Özel, Serkan; Geary, David C. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Sixty (35 girls) ninth graders were assessed on measures of algebraic reasoning and usage of visual and symbolic representations (with a prompt for visual use) to solve equations and inequalities. The study grouped visual representations into two categories: arithmetic-visual, which entailed the use of real-world objects to represent specific…

Demattè, Adriano; Furinghetti, Fulvia – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we describe an experiment in using history to work on problem-solving and the relationship between arithmetic and algebra. The students involved attended the first year of the Italian upper secondary school (grade 9). The original sources we used are problems from Italian treatises on arithmetic and algebra that appeared in the…
