САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Аутори у раду указују на важност учења садржаја алгебре на раном узрасту, али и на проблеме и потешкоће који прате то учење. У циљу да изнађу методички оквир учења садржаја алгебре који ће да резултира учењем са разумевањем, скрећу пажњу на истраживачку наставу. У том контексту указују на карактеристике и методичке вредности ове врсте наставе и представљају методички оквир кроз следеће фазе учења – провокација, формулисање питања, експериментисање, дискусија, рефлексија и документација. Идеја је да ученици кроз наведене фазе учења откривањем и манипулацијом конкретним предметима истражују и формирају појмове ране алгебре. На конкретним примерима садржаја у раду је показано како се истраживачком наставом може формирати појам функционалне зависности, појам једначине и неједначине и како ученици да овладају решавањем једначинa и неједначина са разумевањем. Циљ овако обликоване наставе ране алгебре јесте боље разумевање основних алгебарских појмова, кроз активно ученичко конструисање сопствених закључака.
