Making Algebra Meaningful

A Visual Approach to Math Literacy for All

By: Nicole L. Fonger

An essential understanding of the uses and practices of algebra remain out of reach for many students. In this book, award-winning researcher Dr. Nicole Fonger addresses the issue of how to support all learners to experience algebra as meaningful. In a highly visual approach, the book details four research-based lenses with examples from 9th-grade algebra classrooms: (1) students’ algebraic reasoning and representing; (2) goal-directed classroom practices with technology; (3) culturally and historically responsive algebra literacy; and (4) teachers’ journeys toward antiracism. The author makes connections among research in algebra education; teaching algebra; and leading ambitious, equitable, and antiracist visions for algebra education. By the End of This Book, You Will: Learn how to support students to fluently reason and represent expressions, equations, and functions.Learn how to design algebra lessons that are culturally and historically responsive to students’ experiences and social justice issues.Learn to use sketch notes to reflect on and communicate complex ideas in teaching and learning algebra.Have a set of tools for guiding the design of instruction to support meaningful algebra learning for all students.

Making Algebra Meaningful

A Visual Approach to Math Literacy for All

By: Nicole L. Fonger

Meaningful algebra learning remains out of reach for too many learners. If we accept the premise shared by many leading thinkers, organizations, teachers, researchers, and parents, algebra is for all students, yet remains a civil rights issue (Moses & Cobb, 2001) that is an opportunity for only some. In this book I argue that adopting different lenses for what counts as meaningful algebra learning and teaching helps us to think differently. Question: How might teachers, researchers, and leaders realize meaningful algebra education for all students? Answer: Together, with a diversity of resources, and from a variety of perspectives or lenses on what counts as "meaningful." This book reflects my understandings of how to support meaningful algebra learning as informed by research and practice. My goal is to support your journey in answering this question by making connections between research in algebra education, teaching algebra, and leading ambitious, equitable, antiracist visions for algebra education. My approach in this book is intentionally highly visual with summaries in both textual and image form. Teachers, researchers, leaders, and parents are invited to engage in sketchnoting as a tool to vision and work together to realize opportunities for students to engage in meaningful mathematics learning"--
