More Book Details

Description of the Book:

As students progress through primary school, they are introduced to a growing collection of notation and symbols. From a teaching perspective, before introducing new mathematical symbols it is important to consider the role they play. If students cannot see a meaningful relationship between these signs and symbols and mathematical concepts, coming to grips with notation can be difficult. In this article, the author explores some teaching and learning concerns around introducing formal mathematical notation. She hopes that sharing and reflecting upon her own experience may also provide some insights for fellow teachers trying to make notation meaningful in their primary mathematics classrooms.
