Writing is one of the parts of language that secondary mathematicians are still developing. For some students, ESL/ELL for example, 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. Therefore, it is imperative that opportunities are provided often for students to engage in writing about mathematics. As the teacher, providing an environment that is rich in mathematical language is a priority. Students’ writing should make sense and be complete. This will develop over time for secondary mathematicians as they have more opportunities to write about their experiences. Writing About offers a collaborative opportunity for small groups of students to work individually first to write about a concept and then to come together and putting their individual work into a paragraph about the topic. A word cloud is given as a prompt for words and ideas. Facilitation notes are provided as well as student activity sheet. This is a good activity for struggling students and ESL/ELL who may need some support in writing.

A palindrome is a word or a number that can be read the same way in either direction. For example, MOM is still MOM if read backwards. “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama” is a famous palindrome about the building of the Panama Canal. Palindromes can also be numbers. 121 is still 121 if read from the other direction. This is a short collection of ideas and resources to facilitate students’ fun investigating palindromic numbers.

See how the use of a Mathematician's Notebook can change the way you teach as well as how your students learn. The Mathematician's Notebook.... 1. Becomes a dynamic place where language, data, and logical reasoning experiences operate jointly to form meaning for the student. 2. Helps students create an organized space for demonstrating their learning process. 3. Serves as a formative instructional tool as well as a portfolio of the students' learning experiences, which provides rich documentation for their thinking.

A look at situations that are meaningful to students and that use inequalities. A look at the two concepts on which inequalities are based will be shared as well as a variety of applications using inequalities.

This packet offers 10 diverse opportunities for writing in mathematics with over 35 individual prompts for intermediate students. Writing in mathematics involves more than just putting word to paper. Words need to be carefully chosen to communicate ideas and concepts clearly. Writing involves all of the language of mathematics. Reading, vocabulary, notations and symbols, diagrams, charts, graphs, and metacognition all serve a role as students are engaged in writing in mathematics. Many and varied opportunities need to be provided for students to engage in original thought writing. And remember, just because a students can say something in words, it in no way shows that they can write those same thoughts. Those are two different skill sets. Writing also provides opportunities for the verbal learner to excel as well as the creative learner. This beginning assortment of writing prompts can be adapted as needed for the course, topic, and level of the students. The important thing is to write! Just asking, “Why?”, “How did you think about that?”, “What could be another strategy used here?”, and “Is your conclusion reasonable?” requires students to engage in more than just procedural mathematics. On the back page is a sample of how journal prompt cards can be made for learning station facilitation or to print on labels for ELL/ESL and struggling learners and beginning writers.

Literacy and art support students’ study of money. This packet contains four literacy connections: Where the side Walk Ends The Penny Pot A Quarter from the Tooth Fairy Pigs will be Pigs Activities and suggestions for working with students on developing an understanding of money with the included activities and task cards as well as utilizing items that are your classroom. Packet includes: questions, activity extensions, color masters and task cards

The triangles and word cloud can be used as a note-taking guide, pre-assessment probe, or a formative assessment probe. Students study the triangles and the markings and using the colors of the triangles color the appropriate word(s), measurements, etc. in the word cloud. A page with multiple copies is provided for use in the Mathematician’s Notebook if desired.
