Examining the Behavior of the Operations: Noticing Early Algebraic Ideas (A chapter from Mathematics Teacher Noticing)

By Deborah Schifter

The book Mathematics Teacher Noticing: Seeing Through Teachers' Eyes, examines research on the particular type of noticing done by teachers—how teachers pay attention to and make sense of what happens in the complexity of instructional situations. "Examining the Behavior of the Operations: Noticing Early Algebraic Ideas," a chapter in this book, presents the case of a third-grade teacher to illustrate noticing of algebraic content in the curriculum and in students' mathematical ideas. The chapter demonstrates how teachers' knowledge, values, and goals shape their professional noticing.
