Source abstract

Many states and school districts, as well as Principles and Standards for School Mathematics: Discussion Draft (NCTM 1998), recommend that algebra be taught in the early childhood years. Although young children often understand much more than traditionally thought, adults can have difficulty conceptualizing what would constitute appropriate algebra for the early childhood years.
