[Maths-Education] Re: Early algebra references

[Bob Ansell]

Hi Alison,

We are using Algebra in the Early Grades, Edited by James Kaput, David 
Carraher and Maria Blanton. This is proving effective on our Williams 
Maths Specialist Programme.

It is a substantive text and offers a 'research-based early algebra 
story' to quote from the preface.

It presents a wide range of pedagogical perspectives.
