These lessons show how to maximize instruction that prepares students for formal algebra. Through a series of investigations that help students make connections between arithmetic and algebra, students build proficiency with key algebraic concepts - patterns, functions, and variables. They use multiple representations including models, drawings, tables, graphs, words, and symbols. Lessons include a technology component with suggestions for teaching with graphing calculators.
