Promoting Understanding of Linear Equations with the Median-Slope Algorithm
Edwards, Michael Todd
Mathematics Teacher, v98 n6 p414 Feb 2005
The preliminary findings resulting when invented algorithm is used with entry-level students while introducing linear equations is described. As calculations are accessible, the algorithm is preferable to more rigorous statistical procedures in entry-level classrooms.
