    2. Objectives By the end of this session you will: know how algebra is developed through the mathematics standards have considered how diagnostic and formative assessment can be used effectively to inform planning have discussed ways of teaching algebra

    3. Planning, teaching and assessment

    4. A model of learning

    5. A model of learning mathematics

    6. Recommendations Introduce letters as generalised arithmetic Whenever possible, link algebra to arithmetic Frequent use of letters will help students feel comfortable with symbols Introduce the idea of ‘terms’ with numerical examples Link factors of numerical ‘terms’ with factors of algebraic ‘terms’

    7. Review Are you clear on the requirements for teaching algebra in the grades that you teach? Can you see the links between number and algebra? Can you see ways in which you can help students make the links and connections between number work and algebra? Do you understand why diagnostic assessment is an important feature of planning for teaching? Do you have some ideas for assessment activities?
