By having math writing journals, 3rd to 5th grade students will have a place to consistently respond to questions and statements about math concepts and skills on which they are learning. Writing about math concepts and skills will further help students to understand math concepts and skills at a deeper level, after having been taught skills and concepts conceptually.
By verbally sharing their mathematical responses, students will be able to construct viable arguments (justify and explain their reasoning) as well as critique the reasoning of their classmates (one of the Standards of Mathematical Practice). Last, integrating written and oral discussions of math concepts and skills will better prepare students for Parcc-type standardized assessments. In doing so, students are being developed for college and careers!
