  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 to have students write in math is for them to create instructions for a math concept - kind of like a "how to..." book. You can pose it as a question such as "How would you teach someone to add? Write a paragraph about it. You could also have students look at math problems and evaluate what the student did wrong. This is not only a great way to get writing in, but it also evaluates their understanding of the concepts.
