[...] Cognitive shortcuts like subitizing are employed in the fabulous graphics made by Oliver Steele for his children. A series of block calculations serve to illustrate basic laws of algebra. These visual explanations are kin to physical bricks that see use in elementary schools and as such readily understandable. At the same time, the two-dimensional graphic design can visualize transitions far better (to my judgement at least). [...]

[...] My daughters aren’t old enough to experience the joys of algebra yet, but when they are I plan to revisit Oliver Steele’s blog for some inspired thinking on how to explain algebra visually. Steele’s post Visualizing Basic Algebra begins with line drawings representing the associative property for addition: [...]

[...] Oliver Steele hat in seinem Blog einen wunderschönen Beitrag, der Grundlegende Konzepte der Algebra (Kommutivität, Distributivität, Assoziativität) und binomische Formeln sehr bildhaft beschreibt. Wenn nur jeder Mathe-Lehrer das so schön könnte wie er - ich glaube, dass Mathematik viel von ihrem Schrecken verlieren würde. [...]
