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.
Session Type: Poster Session
