Abstract

Introduction to school algebra can happen through varied approaches. Some prefer to start with an unknown in an equation, while some prefer to start with a formula and some others may prefer to use a pattern based approach. Does it make a difference which approach one uses? Is one approach better than the others? These questions can be debated. However, each of these approaches relates to different conceptions of algebra.
