Children’s Use of Variables and Variable Notation to Represent Their Algebraic Ideas (2015, background): “Maria Blanton”
A Learning Progression for Elementary Students’ Functional Thinking (2017, background): “Generalization and representation are core aspects of algebraic thinking (Blanton, Levi, Crites, & Dougherty, 2011; Kaput, 2008), and functional thinking has been identified as a critical algebraic strand (Kaput, 2008).”
A Learning Trajectory in 6-Year-Olds' Thinking about Generalizing Functional Relationships. (2015, background): “From this perspective, our goal in the study reported here was to map conceptual terrains in young children’s thinking as they engaged in the particular algebraic thinking practice (Kaput, 2008) of generalizing algebraic relationships with functions.”
Relationships between Students' Fractional Knowledge and Equation Writing. (2015, background): “…perspective, algebra is viewed as arising from students’ generalizations and abstractions of their arithmetical and quantitative reasoning (e.g., Booth, 1984; Carpenter et al., 2003; Carraher & Schliemann, 2007; Empson et al., 2011; Kaput, 2008; Olive & Çağlayan, 2008; Stacey, 1989; Steffe, 2001).”
The Development of Children's Algebraic Thinking: The Impact of a Comprehensive Early Algebra Intervention in Third Grade. (2015, background): “Our focus in this study was to address the open question of the effect of sustained, comprehensive early algebra instruction on children’s understanding of core algebraic practices and concepts (Kaput, 2008).”
