Exploring Early Algebra: Analyzing NAEP Problems for Elementary Education

This activity focuses on the development of algebraic thinking in elementary students through analysis of NAEP problems. Participants will engage with a collection of algebraic topics that are critical for early education, learning the significance of relations, patterns, and functional relationships. The goals include understanding how algebraic thinking evolves, examining different solution paths for problems, and recognizing essential algebraic concepts. This collaborative effort will enhance educators' approaches to teaching algebra, making mathematics more accessible to young learners.

  1. NC NAEP Project Module 3 - Activity 3 Doing and Analyzing Early Algebra Problems from NAEP Elementary Module 3, Activity 3

  2. 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

  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

  4. 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

  5. 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.
