Making Algebra more accessible with use of computer interactivity
Karen Finch & Tom Francome
An exploration into an ongoing research project looking at a new approach to the teaching and learning of algebra. The research concerns some of the effects of using technology, specifically the ATM software Grid Algebra. The session will include:• Reporting back on why we undertook the project and
what this looked like.• An introduction to the Grid Algebra software.• An opportunity to reflect on your own teaching of
algebra and any questions this may raise regarding your future practice.
• Background• How we used to like teaching algebra• So why did we undertake the research project?• What our project looks like• An introduction to the software• An opportunity to reflect on your own teaching
of algebra and any questions you have

• Dave came into school to work with departments and everyone agreed to trial it.
• We introduced algebra with grid algebra• Taught a series of lessons• Video of lessons• Met up to discuss findings, analyse video, look
at work• Observing each other teaching with the
software• Dave to observe/ video/ interview students
