Abstract
(from the cover) Research shows that engaging students in writing about mathematics can improve learners' 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 key mathematical concepts. 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; and a generous collection of reproducible templates. Students who write about mathematics develop deeper understandings, show increased interest in math, and reach higher achievement levels. Write for Mathematics, Second Edition, is an important resource for teachers working to reach these goals. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
