Intensified Algebra: A Design-Based Research and Development Project for Double-Period High School Algebra
Mon, April 16, 8:15 to 9:45am, Sheraton Wall Centre, Floor: Grand Ballroom Level, North Grand Ballroom DSession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
Recent discussions in mathematics education have ushered in changes in the breadth and depth of mathematical knowledge students need to acquire in high school, drawing particular attention to the role of algebra as a gatekeeper for accessing higher-level mathematics. Yet, many students enter algebra seriously underprepared for high school algebra. School districts, in response, have developed double-period algebra classes to provide more instructional time for these underprepared students. The participants in this symposium provide an overview of the Intensified Algebra I program, a research-based curriculum for double-period algebra classes that focuses on enhancing students’ learning and their motivation. We examine the design and implementation of Intensified Algebra, reporting analyses of data that illustrate our design-based research and development process.
