    Abstract
    Algebraic thinking is a crucial and fundamental element of mathematical thinking and reasoning. It initially involves recognising patterns and general mathematical relationships among numbers, objects and geometric shapes. This paper will highlight how the ability to think algebraically might support a deeper and more useful knowledge, not only of algebra, but the thinking required to successfully use mathematics. The paper will highlight how a deeper analysis of mathematical problems can instigate student discourse, providing a meaningful experiences that can developing algebraic thinking.Algebraic thinking is a crucial and fundamental element of mathematical thinking and reasoning.
