Developing Thinking in Algebra by John Mason

Developing Thinking in Algebra by John Mason

By integrating pedagogy and subject knowledge through experiencing a variety of tasks for learners, this bookmakes it possible forall learners to succeed inthinking algebraically.

‘Mason, Graham, and Johnston-Wilder have admirably succeeded in casting most of school algebra in terms of generalization activity ? not just the typical numerical and geometric pattern-based work, but also solving quadratics and simultaneous equations, graphing equations, and factoringThe authors raise our awareness of the scope of generalisation and of the power of using this as a lens not just for algebra but for all of mathematics!’ - Professor Carolyn Kieran, Département de Mathématiques, Université du Québec à Montréal

′This is an incredibly interesting and thought provoking book. Intended for anyone interested in developing their own mathematical thinking, or of the students they teach, whether at a primary level or right through to FE. The book is a delightful blend of theory and practice - encouraging the reader to participate, to solve problems and to develop their own thinking′ - Peter Hall, Imberhorne School, East Grinstead
