Journaling in Mathematics
   A math journal is one of the best ways to
    introduce writing into your math class.
   It helps students stretch their thinking and
    make sense of problems.
   When children write in their math journals,
    they examine, express and keep track of their
    reasoning.
   help students become aware of what they do and do not know
   connect prior knowledge with what the student is studying
   summarize the student's knowledge and give insight into understanding
   help the student raise questions about new ideas
   give the student a chance to reflect on what is known
   allow the student to construct mathematics for him or herself
   help the student keep his or her thoughts organized
   help address the issue of "math anxiety"
   help teachers answer specific questions such as:
    ◦   Does the student use mathematics to make sense of a complex situation?
    ◦   Can the student formulate hypotheses?
    ◦   Can the student organize information?
    ◦   Can the student explain concepts?
    ◦   Does the student use communication skills effectively?
    ◦   Does the student use appropriate mathematical language?
    ◦   Is the student confident in his or her abilities?
Writing about your thinking is challenging. It
    is best to start with open-ended prompts
    such as:

   I   learned that…
   I   discovered that…
   I   was surprised that…
   I   noticed that I…
   The basic steps to think pair share

-question
-think
-pair
-share
   Once students are comfortable with the
    Think-Pair-Share strategy, introduce Think-
    Write-Pair-Share strategy.
   As the students think about the question they
    also write their response in a variety of
    techniques such as webbing, pictures,
    numbers, and words.
   Right now I feel…

   Write a question that looms large in your
    mind right now.

   One thing I would like to accomplish today
    is…
Once your students have had some time
    writing about their attitudes and feelings
    towards mathematics in their journals they are
    ready to write about familiar math concepts.
   Explain by using pictures, numbers or words
    what subtraction means.
   Explain what is most important to understand
    about fractions.
   Tips I would give a friend to solve this problem
    are.........
   What was going through your mind when you solved the
    problem?
     (to reveal the reasoning process)
   What was interesting?
     (to see their curiosity)
   What helped you find the solution?
     (to articulate strategic thinking, to find patterns, to
    acknowledge the thinking of others)
   What are you wondering?
     ( to inspire further investigations, to perceive inquiry as
    an ongoing process)
When you feel your students are ready, ask
    them to write about more complex
    mathematical ideas.
   Present a graph from a newspaper and have
    your students write a paragraph about the
    graph.
   Explain a formula.
   Write everything you know about probability.
   There are many
    ways to organize
    math journals and
    math writing.
   You must decide
    what would be best
    for you and the
    students in your
    class.
   My favorite time of the day was…
    because…

   Tomorrow I will do ________ differently.
    Here’s how…
If you were to publish a book
about yourself, what would you
title it?
