Description

Writing is one of the parts of language that students are still developing along with their reading, talking, and listening skills. For some students what they know about mathematics may exceed their ability to communicate it through the written word. Students learn to write by writing. Writing needs to be original thought, not just copying something that someone else wrote. As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Providing students a Journey’s Notebook, if for nothing else but the development of a Glossary and a Journal, offers a place where students can record their thoughts and experiences as it chronicles their growth over time while on their educational journey.

Writing About can be a small group writing activity or an individual activity. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing. Writing about this week’s topic provides students an opportunity to reflect on their work over the past week. Parents and caregivers find this very informative and it provides a way for them to stay in touch with what is happening in the classroom. This can also be used as a formative assessment probe for the student.

This resource is good for children with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. We’d like to hear about your experience with our resources. Just give it a star rating then tell us what you think, simple as that!

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group!

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
