Inhaltsangabe

An essential understanding of the uses and practices of algebra remain out of reach for many students. In this book, award-winning researcher Dr. Nicole Fonger addresses the issue of how to support all learners to experience algebra as meaningful. In a highly visual approach, the book details four research-based lenses with examples from 9th-grade algebra classrooms: (1) students' algebraic reasoning and representing; (2) goal-directed classroom practices with technology; (3) culturally and historically responsive algebra literacy; and (4) teachers' journeys toward antiracism. The author makes connections among research in algebra education; teaching algebra; and leading ambitious, equitable, and antiracist visions for algebra education.

By the End of This Book, You Will:

• Learn how to support students to fluently reason and represent expressions, equations, and functions.
• Learn how to design algebra lessons that are culturally and historically responsive to students' experiences and social justice issues.
• Learn to use sketch notes to reflect on and communicate complex ideas in teaching and learning algebra.
• Have a set of tools for guiding the design of instruction to support meaningful algebra learning for all students.
