Eamonn Kelly, the world‘s | 丛书名称 | History of Mathematics Education | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | In this well-illustrated book the authors, Sinan Kanbir, Ken Clements, and Nerida Ellerton, tackle a persistent, and universal, problem in school mathematics—why do so many middle-school and secondary-school students find it difficult to learn algebra well? What makes the book important are the unique features which comprise the design-research approach that the authors adopted in seeking a solution to the problem. .The first unique feature is that the authors offer an overview of the history of school algebra. Despite the fact that algebra has been an important component of secondary-school mathematics for more than three centuries, there has never been a comprehensive historical analysis of factors influencing the teaching and learning of that component..The authors identify, through historical analysis, six purposes of school algebra: (a) algebra as a body of knowledge essential to higher mathematical and scientific studies,(b) algebra as generalized arithmetic, (c) algebra as a prerequisite for entry to higher studies, (d) algebra as offering a language and set of procedures for modeling real-life problems, (e) algebra as an aid to describing structural properties in elementary | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | History of education; History of algebra education; Design research in education; Algebra education; Sch | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59204-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86568-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-59204-6Series ISSN 2509-9736 Series E-ISSN 2509-9744 | issn_series | 2509-9736 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
