This book was released on 2007 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands of local, state, and national mandates on the classroom teacher became overwhelming to me. I decided that it must be possible to work towards several goals without doing several tasks. As a result, I implemented writing would affect student achievement. The study was implemented with 22 pre-calculus students during the first nine-week term of 2007-2008 school year at Benton Community Schools. Existing student attitudes towards math were assessed with a survey at the beginning of the study and reassessed at the conclusion of the study. A pretest of pre-calculus concepts was given at the beginning and at the conclusion of the study. Questions were split between skill-based questions, which required a numeric response, and conceptual-based questions, which required a numeric response, and conceptual-based questions, which required a written explanation. Students also wrote in a journal an average of two times per week. Two formal writing assignments were also given throughout the nine-week study. Results showed an increase in the number of students showing a positive attitude towards math along with an increase in student achievement. These results may be due to the implementation of writing in the mathematic curriculum.

Book Synopsis The Effects of Reading and Writing Strategies to Improve Fluency in Mathematics by : Dionne François
Download or read book The Effects of Reading and Writing Strategies to Improve Fluency in Mathematics written by Dionne François and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) initiative and its implications have caused teachers to examine students' growth and their development through multiple lenses. The CCSS-M has included reasoning and communicating as essential standards for teaching and learning. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of teaching reading and writing strategies in a mathematics classroom as a means to improve students' mathematical fluency. Additionally, an interview was conducted to reveal students' attitude towards the CCSS for Mathematics. This study was conducted in an eighth grade math intervention classroom that is designed for students who received low math scores on the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT). The sample consisted of 15 student-participants, the treatment group is comprised of eight students, and the control group is comprised of seven students. The teacher researcher implemented five reading strategies and two writing strategies to the treatment group while the control group received no instructional strategies. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to both groups and scores were used for comparison. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used to test the effectiveness of the strategies. The result of the ANOVA test indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the treatment and the control groups. The strategies had a positive outcome on the students' performances. The treatment group made significant gains on their post-test compared to the control group. Based on the results of this study and students' attitude towards the CCSS-M, it can be concluded that incorporating the reading and writing strategies in the mathematics curriculum is beneficial and can improve one's conceptual understanding in mathematics.

Book Synopsis Effects of Writing in the Mathematics Classroom by : Wojciech Kolc
Download or read book Effects of Writing in the Mathematics Classroom written by Wojciech Kolc and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing in the subject matter is widely supported by authors and professional organizations. For example, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) lists communication, including writing, as an essential part of mathematics education in their Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000). The NCTM also states that students can use communications with peers, teachers, and others to organize and consolidate their mathematical thinking. In addition, effective classroom communications provide students with the opportunity to review, analyze, and evaluate the mathematical thinking and strategies of others so that mathematical ideas can be expressed more precisely. Similarly, Sutton and Krueger (2003) believe that reading and writing should be combined with mathematics at all times, and go on to state that the importance of writing in the mathematics classroom cannot be overemphasized. Aside from helping students to clarify their understanding of mathematics and improve their communications skills, writing also helps students to organize their ideas and thoughts more logically so that clear and coherent conclusions can be reached. The purpose of this study was to see if doing a significant amount of writing in a high school mathematics class will improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts. More specifically, the researcher wanted to know whether students gain more confidence and reduce their math phobia if asked to write about their difficulties and challenges when solving multistep problems and word problems. Additionally, this research focused on improving students' abilities to explain their reasoning behind required procedures. This study took place in a large urban high school in Connecticut. There were 51 participants of this study, all of them enrolled in Academic Geometry classes. Historically students in an academic track have been resistant when asked to explain their thinking and have avoided any kind of word problems. This investigation focused on students' attitude in math as well as their achievement. Although this study did not show any significant increase in grades on post-tests, students in the experimental group improved their ability to explain their reasoning behind required procedures and they gained more confidence when asked to solve word problems.
Book Synopsis A Review and an Update on Using Children's Literature to Teach Mathematics by : June Lundy Gaston
Download or read book A Review and an Update on Using Children's Literature to Teach Mathematics written by June Lundy Gaston and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children must develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills because those skills are required for success in any discipline. Consequently, in their mathematical development students need to be able to read, write, speak and listen in mathematical terms. Research indicates that children's literature provides a means to promote such communication about mathematical ideas. Investigations examine why and how children's literature can be used to teach mathematics, the variety of children's literature that can be considered, and how lessons can also integrate technology that enhances both language literacy and mathematics literacy. Such information is important, not only for educators, but for parents and caregivers who want to appropriately utilize interdisciplinary connections to facilitate or improve both teaching and learning. Educational research has shown that students taught mathematics via connections to children's literature become more interested critical thinkers and problem solvers, and become more able to connect mathematical ideas to personal and real-life experiences. Parents, caregivers and educators can also benefit from the mathematics and literature connection. The research recommendations that parents and caregivers become more active in the education of their children include reading mathematics-based children's literature during story time. Parents and caregivers may also more easily participate in an effective homework program involving mathematical activities linked to such literature. Teachers who are not comfortable with mathematics typically prefer teaching reading and language arts. Such teachers are attracted to beautifully illustrated children's books and good literature that generates children's interest and inspires their imaginations. By integrating literature in their mathematics lessons, such teachers can find more comfort and pleasure in teaching the material, and convey that positive attitude along with the content of the lessons. Teachers can find many effective ways of unleashing the potential of literature in the mathematics classroom. The search begins with knowledge of the mathematics curriculum and their personal literary preferences. The search is modified by the needs of the students. The search is continuous because the ways of linking literature and mathematics are endless.
Book Synopsis Mathematics and Literature by : Julie A. Lynch
Download or read book Mathematics and Literature written by Julie A. Lynch and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using an action research design, this study examined 19 grade two students in a small elementary school. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the impact of integrating children's literature into the Grade Two mathematics curriculum. Over the course of this ten-week integrated unit titled Circles and Cycles, approximately 30 pieces of literature, both books and poetry were shared with students and approximately 45 activities were completed relating to different aspects of mathematics, as well as science, social studies, visual arts, health, and language arts. This study examined the impact on students' problem solving skills and mathematical understanding as well as student attitudes towards mathematics and engagement. Developing literacy through mathematics and mathematics through literacy resulted in powerful connections for students by allowing the literature and mathematics to emerge together. The importance of promoting an engaged student identity through a culture of mathematics was another critical finding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition, qualitative data were gathered with an open-ended question administered to participants in the mathematical literacy sections during the last week of the semester to offer richer insights into the findings from the attitude survey. Findings from the quantitative data revealed statistically significant effects for participants in the mathematical literacy course compared to their counterparts in the elementary algebra course in the area of attitudes regarding the perceived value and usefulness of mathematics, real-world problems, working in groups, as well as using computers in mathematics courses. Qualitative data were aligned with the findings from the quantitative data and indicated participants' positive views on working in groups, the usefulness of the mathematical literacy course, and improvement of their attitudes regarding mathematics thanks to the course. The study suggested further research to improve our understandings of mathematical literacy and its impact.
