Not all curricula are created equal. Thus, knowing how to create tasks that build the algebraic habits of mind students need is a crucial step toward developing children’s algebraic thinking. Learn how to transform curriculum-style problems into powerful early algebraic tasks that harness the Common Core’s Mathematical Practices.
