Appropriate for Grades 2-8
Written by Marilyn Burns
Writing and doing mathematics share a number of key qualities-each calls for gathering, organizing, and clarifying thoughts. Each demands finding out what you know and don't know. And each depends on thinking clearly. Even though the final products looks quite different, the mental journey is the same-"making sense of an idea and presenting it effectively".
In Writing in Math Class, Marilyn Burns describes how writing can assist math instruction by helping children make sense of mathematics and by helping teachers understand what children are learning.
This book is organized into three parts:
• Part 1: Provides an overview of writing in math class, explaining the benefits of writing for supporting students' learning and helping teachers assess what students understand.
• Part 2: Identifies four types of student writing assignments (keeping journals, solving mathematical problems, explaining mathematical ideas, and linking creative writing with math).
• Part 3: Presents tips and suggestions for making writing an integral part of math instruction.
Writing in Math Class is an invaluable and inspiring resource.
Soft-cover, 197 pages.
