ALGEBRAIC REASONING AT ELEMENTARY LEVEL: FILLING THE GAPS BETWEEN ARITHMETIC AND ALGEBRA

Prateek Chaurasia

Abstract :

 Algea has been characterized by the most important part of mathematics learning at elementary level, as it opens the doors of abstract thinking as well as reasoning abilities among the new eager minds those who have just transit from the world of numbers and computations to the sphere of equalities, sings, and symbols/letters. The present article focuses on the fact that how arithmetic and algea are related to each other and it highlights how arithmetic plays a role of scaffolding for elementary algea. It drags the attention towards the approach of algeaic reasoning and its utilities in filling the gaps between arithmetic and early algea at elementary grades. It also signifies the importance of algeaic reasoning in overcoming the challenges of transition phase of arithmetic to early algea to enhance and make the algeaic learning joyful and learners friendly. The discussions of the present article will be fruitful to mathematic teachers for applying themselves to classroom teaching of algea and to develop the interest and involve the leaner’s inside the classroom during algea teaching.
