Math and Writing Add Up!
Copper Hill Curriculum Corner - January 2024
The Possibilities with Math are Infinite!
In your child's early math classes, writing is like a superpower that helps them explain how they solve problems and why their answers make sense. It also shows how math is not just in the classroom but can be useful in everyday things, helping them see the real-world magic of numbers!
Good Math Writers:
- Select the best way to represent their thinking (e.g. using words, equations, a diagram, table, or graph)
- Use precise math vocabulary and symbols
- Give examples
- Describe any patterns they discover
- Show/explain the steps taken to solve a problem
- Explain their findings in a clear and organized manner
- Restate the question
- Answer all parts of the question
- Check that what they have written makes sense (reasoning)
