Description:
The math and English language arts Common Core State Standards and related assessments underscore the importance of mathematical writing. We investigated over 1,900 writing prompts found in student editions across nine curriculums. We developed a comprehensive framework to guide an inductive analysis that highlight the features that students are pressed to include in their written responses.
