Concerning the First Course in Algebra

Herbert N. Bernhardt

Abstract

In the April, 1950 issue of The Mathematics Teacher William R. Ransom1 suggests a more meaningful approach to the teaching of combination of like terms than that usually found in the first course in algebra. The present paper describes an attempt to apply a somewhat similar point of view to the entire beginning course in algebra.
