β¦ Synopsis
The lessons in this book build the foundation that prepares students for studying algebra in middle and high school. Incorporating manipulative materials, children's books, and problem-solving investigations, lessons actively engage students in creating, recognizing, describing, and extending patterns, and representing patterns with words, tables, variables, and graphs. Lessons also introduce students to solving equations and plotting points.
