A terrific resource! June 26, 2000

Writing in Math Class is a great resource for any teacher interested in teaching writing across the curriculum. I have used many of the ideas in this book, including how to use math journals, but I think my favorite is asking students to write their own math authobiography, what their math life has been like before coming to me. In North Carolina our 4th graders take an open ended test in the fall where they do math problems and then explain what they did--this book will help teachers get students ready for this test and teach the children some very important skills in the process!

Excellent book. It helps the students focus on what they really are trying to show.
