Developing Algebraic Thinking at Primary Levels YEO Kai Kow Joseph National Institute of Education Nanyang Technological University Singapore Published in The Mathematician Educator, 2024, Vol 5, No. 1, pp 52-62. Abstract Algebraic thinking encompasses representing, generalising, and formalising patterns and regularity in mathematics. This paper reviews definitions of algebraic thinking, discusses ways of developing algebraic

What is an Algorithm? YAP Von Bing National University of Singapore Singapore Published in The Mathematician Educator, 2024, Vol 5, No. 1, pp 45-51. Abstract Numerical procedures are classified into two types according to whether there is a well-defined goal. The distinction is illustrated with well-known examples. Quite different is a “prediction algorithm”, which resonates
