Authors: KP Mohanan and Tara Mohanan
The purpose of this document is to help secondary school students:
~ go beyond the mechanical skills of calculation to produce correct answers without the foundational understanding and abilities;
~ understand the concept of equations in arithmetic, and other related concepts; and
~ develop the ability to reason using equations.
Our hope is also that the discussion here would help parents and teachers to guide primary school students towards the understanding of the relevant concepts and abilities of (computational) reasoning with equations.
