Commentary on Part II

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Mathematics Education ((AME))

Abstract

In this commentary to the chapters in the cognitive section of early algebraization, we synthesize and critically discuss common themes found in them such as components of non-formal algebraic thinking, the purported dichotomy between arithmetic and algebra; meaningful arithmetic, and generalizing ability, among others using the frameworks of William Brownell, Ernst Haeckl and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck.
