8- Bringing Variable Notation to the Forefront of Early Mathematics Education

Monday, April 15, 2013: 5:30 PM-6:45 PM
Lobby A (Colorado Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Barbara M. Brizuela
Co-speakers:
Maria Blanton , Katie Sawrey , Angela Murphy Gardiner , Brian Gravel and Ashley Newman-Owens

Description of Presentation:

We present preliminary analyses to show that young children can and do comfortably use mathematical symbols to express relationships between quantities. Using variable notation is clearly within the reach of young children, and we challenge the lack of explicit attention to variable notation in early algebra research.
