  • Chapter
Book cover The Second Handbook of Research on the Psychology of Mathematics Education

Abstract

For many years, the mathematics education community has investigated the difficulties students have with algebra. Different aspects of algebraic thinking, considered to be fundamental to overcome those difficulties, have been analyzed by researchers using a variety of theoretical frameworks.
