  Case: Writing Across the Curriculum
If you are required to write everyday in the classroom, what are some ways that a math teacher could implement this new strategy given from the new administrators?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One way that you could have students write in Math is to create "do nows" that require students to solve the math problem, but then write a paragraph explaining how you would teach someone else to solve the math problem that they just solved. It kills two birds with one stone because it allows the student to practice writing their mathematical reasoning, but it also allows the teacher to determine misunderstandings, areas of strength or weaknesses, and content that may need to be retaught.
