B02 - (F to Year 2) Nurturing algebraic thinking in the early years
(F To Year 2)
Session Description
As soon as young children start working with number, they start encountering algebraic ideas. Pattern recognition and creation, understanding of equivalence and representations and reasoning about them are critical in the development of number and mathematics generally. Participants at this workshop will engage with some activities used in the early years to foster attention on patterns and relationships between numbers, symbols and problem-solving situations. Come and explore some tasks reflecting on how they engage young children with algebraic thinking.
Key takeaways:
1. Activities for developing algebraic thinking in early years.
2. Ways to nurture children’s curiosity and attention to big ideas in algebraic thinking.
3. Reflections on supporting understanding of equivalence and patterns.
Remember: Paper and pen.
