• Resumen

  • Secondary school mathematics teachers often need to answer the �Why do we do that?� question in such a way that avoids confusion and evokes student interest. Understanding the properties of number systems can provide an avenue to better grasp algebraic structures, which in turn builds students� conceptual knowledge of secondary mathematics. This paper investigates the number systems from K-12 mathematics, discusses the properties held in each, and diagrammatically establishes connections between the number systems and algebraic structures.
