  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!)
So many times students say, "I know how to do it, but I just can't explain it." To me that screams, "I have no clue how I just worked that problem!" I truly believe if a student can explain how to work out a problem AND write it out, step-by-step, then that student truly understands the skill. I think math journals and discussing the math journal entry with a partner will really stress the importance of their math skills as well as their writing abilities.
