摘要
We relate studies of algebraic thinking in elementary school (grades K-5, ages five to 10) to current mathematics standards in the United States. Classroom research increasingly paints a promising picture of the potential of young students to learn to think algebraically. This confirms the overall judgment behind recommendations to create a K-12 algebra strand (for ages five to 17) but leaves a host of challenges regarding the implementation of algebraic thinking activities in classrooms and, more generally, to the preparation of teachers.
