Writing in Mathematics:

• Writing is how we think our way into a subject- so we encourage students to write to deepen and extend their thinking• Writing is a way to integrate and

connect mathematics to students’ lives and learning.

Eight Standards for Mathematical Practicethese are both the goal for math

students and the means to the goal

Indiana Common Core Standards

Problem Solving Explanations:

• Written explanation of the process used to solve a particular problem

• The explanation might involve asking the student to suggest another way to solve the same problem.

• Sharing of other’s explanations broadens thinking.

Writing in Mathematics

words such as, “How would you teach your younger cousin to subtract two digit numbers?”
