From arithmetic to algebra - UCB Mathematics(从算术到代数还有数学)
From arithmetic to
algebra
Slightly edited version
of a presentation
at the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR
February 20, 2009
H. Wu
Why can’t our students achieve introductory algebra?
This presentation specifically addresses only introductory alge-
bra, which refers roughly to what is called Algebra I in the usual
curriculum. Its main focus is on all students’ access to the truly
basic part of algebra that an average citizen needs in the high-
tech age. The content of the traditional Algebra II course is
on the whole more technical and is designed for future STEM
students.
In place of Algebra II, future non-STEM would benefit more
from a mathematics-culture course devoted, for example, to an
understanding of probability and data, recently solved famous
problems in mathematics, and history of mathematics.
At least three reasons for students’ failure:
(A) Arithmetic is about computation of specific numbers.
Algebra is about what is true in general for all numbers, all
whole numbers, all integers, etc.
Going from the specific to the general is a giant conceptual leap.
Students are not prepared by our curriculum for this leap.
(B) They don’t get the foundational skills needed for algebra.
(C) They are taught incorrect mathematics in algebra classes.
Garbage in, garbage out.
These are not independent statements. They are inter-related.
Consider (A) and (B):
The K–3 school math curriculum is mainly exploratory, and will
be ignored in this presentation for simplicity.
Grades 5–7 directly prepare students for algebra. Will focus on
these grades.
