Theoretical Foundations

Traditionally, the teaching and learning of algebra has been addressed at the beginning of secondary education with a methodological approach that broke traumatically into a mathematical universe until now represented by numbers, with bad consequences. It is important, then, to find methodological alternatives that allow the parallel development of arithmetical and algebraic thinking from the first years of learning. This article begins with a review of a series of theoretical foundations that support a methodological proposal based on the use of specific manipulative materials that foster a deep knowledge of the decimal number system, while verbalizing and representing quantitative situations that underline numerical relationships and properties and patterns of numbers. Developing and illustrating this approach is the main purpose of this paper. The proposal has been implemented in a group of 25 pupils in the first year of primary school. Some observed milestones are presented and analyzed. In the light of the results, this well-planned early intervention contains key elements to initiate algebraic thinking through the development of number sense, naturally enhancing the translation of purely arithmetical situations into the symbolic language characteristic of algebraic thinking.

Abstract Content

This study was constituted with the purpose of promoting reflections on Mathematics of basic education, from a transdisciplinary view of teaching and learning processes. To do so, we aim to analyze the contributions of figures in the development of geometric thinking. We characterize this research in empirical-exploratory, because for Lakatos and Marconi (2017), this type of research distinguishes itself as a scientific process of investigation that allows the researcher to formulate questions, with three purposes: to raise hypotheses, to increase the familiarization of the researcher in order to research, modify or clarify concepts, based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, according to the depth of the discussion about the object in question. For this, we look for information in other researches, databases of universities and virtual libraries, periodicals.  We hope that the results contribute to the critical and ethical awareness from views of the importance of the development of mathematical thinking, but specifically of geometric thinking, aiming at non-rupture with arithmetic thinking, in order to interweave with algebraic thinking . We consider this research relevant because mathematics teaching is based on abstract content that often makes no sense to the student, and here we show a part of mathematics that is formal but can be fun when well crafted in the classroom. Finally, we present pedagogical tools of innovation, aimed at contributing to the emancipation of the knowledge of this science, without ruptures. Keywords: Geometric thinking. Figurative numbers.

The present study is a part of design research in local instructional theory in a pre-algebraic lesson using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. The article will focus on recommendations for the type of pre-algebra class that supports elementary school students’ algebraic thinking. As design research study, it followed the three steps of preliminary studies, teaching experiment and retrospective analysis. The subject of the study is 32 fifth grade students of MIN 2 Palembang during the teaching experiment phase.  The data were gathered from students’ worksheets, lesson observation and interviews with the students. Data analysis was done using a constant comparative qualitative method. The results from the study indicate that pattern investigation in pre-algebra class that visualized geometrically supports the students to identify the form of the pattern and construct generalization.
