This research book provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of mathematical writing and illuminates various perspectives on moving the teaching and learning of k-12 mathematical writing forward. There are three major sections for Illuminating and Advancing the Path for Mathematical Writing Research, with each part highlighting the existing research and identifying and prioritizing future research by realizing the significance of mathematical writing, engaging k-12 students in mathematical writing, and supporting educators with the implementation of mathematical writing.
Mathematical writing is an important yet underutilized component of mathematical discourse, and this book offers further insight into understanding what it means to write mathematically for mathematics educators and researchers. It informs with research-based implementation strategies and creates purposeful professional learning opportunities. Ultimately, k-12 students will benefit from a more informed field because they will have access to a vital mode of mathematical reasoning and communication.
