This book focuses on algebra as a language of process,
expands the notion of variable, develops ideas about the representation of
functions, and extends students' understanding of algebraic equivalence and
change. In the activities, students apply properties of functions by using
median salary data, explore the meaning of equivalent equations, and use
recursive or iterative forms to represent relationships. The supplemental CD-ROM
features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for
students, and additional readings for teachers.
