Algebra is a pre-K–12 NCTM Standard, and the Common Core State Standards list algebraic thinking starting in kindergarten. But what does this mean in pre-K–grade 5? The presenter, author of the series Planting the Seeds of Algebra: Explorations for the Early Grades, will model how to draw out the algebraic character of pre-K–grade 5 math. Handouts with ideas from her books will be provided.
