Algebra for Children

What Kind Of Resources Can I Use To Teach Algebra For Children?

Students typically take algebra in middle school or high school, but children can practice basic algebra skills as early as elementary school. One of the most basic concepts in algebra is using variables. Although you may not want to teach children about variables, you can introduce variables into arithmetic lessons. For example, you can rewrite the addition problem 5+3=? As 5+?=8. You can find a variety of practice problems that practice elementary variables at The Great Martini Company. This site has free online flashcards that your students can complete during computer time or at home.

Algebra is a very logical subject, so you can give your students activities that strengthen their logic and reasoning skills. Many of the games at Cool Math are logic games rather than number games. Although these games don't directly practice algebra skills, they do help kids practice the kind of thinking they will use in algebra. You can also give your students a daily Brain Booster, which is a logic puzzle provided by Discovery Education

By completing these activities, your students will develop the critical thinking skills they need to succeed in algebra.
