The Effects of Using Writing-to-learn-mathematics Strategies to Improve Student Achievement in Mathematics


Book Description

The purpose of this study was to determine if incorporating writing-to-learn strategies into the math curriculum would increase student achievement and motivation in math and decreases in students' math anxiety Students involved in this eight-week study came from student pre- and postsurveys, pre- and posttests over our first math unit, ans student journals. Writing-to-learn activities such as math autobiographies, quick-writes, problem solving and a variety of other writing prompts were assigned 2 times per week. All subjects showed a mean increase of 24 points out of the 41 points possible on the post test. The data collected demonstrated the benefit of using writing to learn strategies to give explanations and mathematical reasoning for answers.
