Straightforward teaching materials clarify the "teaching moments" to move students past problem solving into symbolic representation and generalization. This early, systematic use of algebraic thinking increases students' chances of a successful transition to Algebra I!

The abc's of Algebra incorporates NCTM recommendations by addressing a wide range of algebraic thinking:

Solving for value of unknowns
Linear equations
Systems of equations
Functions
Interpreting and applying formulas
Linear versus nonlinear relationships
