TitleEarly algebra ideas involving two variables, Clip 8 of 18: Sharing secrets for tables 2 through 5
PublisherNew Brunswick, NJ: Robert B. Davis Institute for Learning, , c1993-10-01
DescriptionIn the eighth of 18 clips from Early Algebra Ideas Involving Two Variables on the second of two consecutive classroom sessions with the class of 6th grade students, individual students and pairs of students share general ideas ("secrets") about the equations that they are generating with researcher, Robert B. Davis. In particular they point out the importance of the "triangle" value associated with zero as the constant value for the equation. They also notice that the difference between each pair of consecutive "triangle" values is constant. Michele I., Ankur, Milin, Michael, Amy-Lynn, Robert and Stephanie are featured. Researchers Carolyn Maher, Alice Alston and Amy Martino are observing.
