Research shows that engaging students in writing about mathematics can improve a learner's overall math understanding. Addressing NCTM standards, Write for Mathematics, Second Edition, offers a wide range of practical writing strategies that can be used with students to deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts and theories.
The process of incorporating writing into mathematics instruction need not seem daunting. This step-by-step handbook provides:
Ten specific writing strategies that foster mathematical thinking and understanding
Clear directions for using each strategy with students
Application of the strategies to target NCTM standards
A wide variety of examples at all levels
Strategies that can be used with any mathematics curriculum
A generous collection of reproducibles
