Summary:

"Our book, How Students Think When Doing Algebra, is not intended to be a "how to" book for teachers. Instead, it is intended to orient new teachers to the ways students think and be a book that teachers at all points in their career continually pull of the shelf when they wonder, "how might my students struggle with this algebraic concept I am about to teach?" The primary audience for this book is early career mathematics teachers who don't have extensive experience working with students engaged in mathematics. However, the book can also be useful to veteran teachers to supplement their knowledge and is an ideal resource for mathematics educators who are preparing preservice teachers"-- Provided by publisher.
