Developing routines to incorporate ways
for students to write in math is an essential part of communicating.
Through writing students can explain their thinking, show
their work, create representations, apply mathematical language,
and problem solve. Having students write in math also provides
the teacher an opportunity to assess as well as differentiate
to meet students’ needs.
