The idea of incorporating writing in mathematics simultaneously addresses both the Communication standard and the Connections standard set forth by the NCTM. Students may write to explain how they solved a problem, to explain why an answer makes sense, or to record the progress of an ongoing problem situation. Writing may be used to explain a solution or a concept, or may be reflective. Writing may be done in a journal or notebook or on loose paper. Many standardized exams and proficiency tests include problems for which a student must write to explain an answer or solution process.
