A focus on “getting kids ready” for high-stakes tests has reduced mathematical writing to "demonstrating understanding." In this workshop, by engaging in writing to learn mathematics and discussing how to scaffold students’ mathematical writing, we will refocus and look at writing as a way for students to negotiate mathematical meaning.
