Write Starts: 101 Writing Prompts for Math
Writing about math helps students clarify their own thinking while reinforcing what they have learned. A variety of prompts encourage students to log their thoughts, activities, and understanding of math. Categories include: Attitudes and Stereotypes, Learning and Succeeding in the Mathematics Classroom, Evaluation of the Learning Environment, and Problem Solving. Logs allow easy monitoring of students' math comprehension and let teachers address issues that otherwise would be uncommunicated in the classroom. Blackline masters are included. Grades 6-12
