Writing in Math Class (Gr. 2-8) by Marilyn Burns

Teach writing and math at the same time and better than each taught separately!

Writing is an essential skill and an integral part of mathematics. Good writing helps a student understand a task or story problem. It is valuable for reporting results and procedures beyond just "right answers." It is a medium by which a student can make up original problems and think through solutions. This book gives a way to utilize the linguistic intelligence as a channel for math.

Marilyn Burns is a widely known and respected math educator. She extensively utilizes ideas from teachers in the field.
