Volume 1, Issue 11 – Combining Writing and Math

Welcome to this week’s edition of Best Practices Weekly.  Today we’ll be discussing the concept of combining writing and math.

While writing is often used in other subjects such as social studies and science, it is rarely combined with math. Two Brigham Young University instructors write in an article for The Reading Teacher about ways to integrate writing and math and thereby increase students’ skills in both areas.
