Abstract | How better to begin the study of linear equations in an algebra class than to determine what students already know about the subject? A seventh-grade algebra class in a suburban school undertook a project early in the school year that was completed before they began studying linear relations and functions. The project, which might have been assigned at the end of a unit in a traditional class, was assigned "before" the start of the unit. By assigning the project early in the unit, students' prior learning and initial understanding became apparent, offering both a subject for mathematical reasoning and the construction of mathematical arguments. The objective of the project was to determine students' understanding of proportional relationships regarding ratios, proportions, and equation representations that are more formal and typically part of an algebra I curriculum. A bibliography is included. (ERIC). |
