Summary
Algebra readiness: it's a topic of concern that seems to pervade every school district. How can we help all students succeed in the mathematics they are studying in the elementary grades and become ready for later instruction? The answer lies not in studying additional content, but in developing ways of thinking that underlie both arithmetic and algebra.
