The Effectiveness of Teaching Algebraic Principles through Sensory Activities in Kindergarten

Since algebraic thinking is one of the foundational ideas for the development of algebraic thinking in young children, algebra has a crucial place in the area of mathematics and is one of the essential disciplines whose skills are necessary to be gained by all students from kindergarten to secondary school. This study was designed to prepare sensory exercises that align with algebra requirements, in order to stay up with the scientific advancements of youngsters in Egypt and Kuwait. In order to teach kindergarten students the fundamentals of algebra, the researchers developed a series of sensory activities that were based on both the standards for kindergarten mathematics instruction and the standards for learning the algebraic principles necessary for the stage of the study that was discussed. A test was also devised as part of the study to confirm the efficacy of those interventions. The findings statistically demonstrated the effectiveness of the suggested activities in helping the study sample's kids acquire the standards necessary for understanding algebraic principles—that is, what they need to know to move on from foundational problems and continue learning mathematics with confidence.

Abstract

Since algebraic thinking is one of the foundational ideas for the development of algebraic thinking in young children, algebra has a crucial place in the area of mathematics and is one of the essential disciplines whose skills are necessary to be gained by all students from kindergarten to secondary school. This study was designed to prepare sensory exercises that align with algebra requirements, in order to stay up with the scientific advancements of youngsters in Egypt and Kuwait. In order to teach kindergarten students the fundamentals of algebra, the researchers developed a series of sensory activities that were based on both the standards for kindergarten mathematics instruction and the standards for learning the algebraic principles necessary for the stage of the study that was discussed. A test was also devised as part of the study to confirm the efficacy of those interventions. The findings statistically demonstrated the effectiveness of the suggested activities in helping the study sample's kids acquire the standards necessary for understanding algebraic principles—that is, what they need to know to move on from foundational problems and continue learning mathematics with confidence.
