54- Learning Trajectories in Children’s Thinking about Functions: Opportunities Missed?

Thursday, November 7, 2013: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room L6/L7 (Kentucky International Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Maria Blanton


Functions are an important domain in which children can engage in key algebraic thinking practices. But how does their understanding emerge? I will examine learning trajectories in how K–grade 2 children generalize and represent functional relationships and highlight important (but missed) learning opportunities that can begin in kindergarten.
