Algebra is a central topic of learning across the world, and it is well-known that it represents a hurdle for many students. The book presents analyses built on extensive video-recordings of classrooms documenting the first introduction to symbolic algebra (students aged 12 to 14). While the content addressed in all classrooms is variables, expressions and equations, the teaching approaches are diverse. The chapters bring the reader into different algebra classrooms, discussing issues such as mathematization and social norms, the role of mediating tools and designed examples, and teacher beliefs. By comparing classrooms, new insights are generated about how students understand the algebraic content, how teachers instruct, and how both parties deal with difficulties in learning elementary algebra. The book also describes a research methodology using video in search of taken-for-grantedaspects of algebra lessons. 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLearning, Psychology of 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aAlgebra 606 $aMathematics Education 606 $aInstructional Psychology 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aAlgebra 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLearning, Psychology of. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aAlgebra. 615 14$aMathematics Education. 615 24$aInstructional Psychology. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aAlgebra. 676 $a512.007 676 $a372.71 702 $aKilhamn$b Cecilia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSäljö$b Roger$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349351703321 996 $aEncountering Algebra$92542833 997 $aUNINA
