Resources

For Teachers

Early algebra does not aim to increase the amount of mathematics students must learn, and it is not intended to create an extra burden for teachers!  It is also not the same as teaching a traditional algebra curriculum early.

We hope that teachers will be able to use our resources to think about "algebrafying" their teaching of arithmetic.  Here are some suggestions:

• To see the lessons and student activities we have used and to print them for use in your classroom: Visit Lesson Materials
• To find out more about the theory behind early algebra and what we've found using these lessons: Visit About Early Algebra, as well as Research, and FAQ's
• To find out about our summer camp and get information for you and your students: Visit Summer Camp
• To get an in-depth look at the research on early algebra: Visit Publications

For Parents

Early algebra does not aim to increase the amount of mathematics students must learn, and it is also not the same as teaching a traditional algebra curriculum early.

We hope that parents will be able to use our resources to understand what early algebra is all about, and to think about what this might mean for your child's education. Here are some suggestions:

• We run a camp every summer for Boston area students. To find out about our summer camp, download an application, and get updates and information on upcoming summers: Visit Summer Camp
• To see the lessons and student activities we have used and to think about how your child might use them; you can also print these activities for your child: Visit Lesson Materials
• To find out more about the theory behind early algebra and what we've found using these lessons: Visit About Early Algebra, as well as Research, and FAQ's
