Young children can do sophisticated math, even algebra, given the right tools and supports. In this session, grades 3–5 teachers use manipulatives and discussion to explore tasks that promote algebraic reasoning. We discuss students’ typical approaches, common misconceptions, and teaching strategies that address Common Core mathematical practices.
