It was my student-to-teacher interactions and my open-ended questions that guided students to write reflectively. The journal aims to stimulate reflection on mathematics education at all levels, and promote study of its practices and its theories: to generate productive discussion; to encourage enquiry and research; to promote criticism and evaluation of ideas and procedures current in the field. to write a mathematics journal and many elements that go into keeping one. The picture was easier because you could count the objects better than the graph.

For "Super Robots," I asked students to make their graphs before drawing their pictures. Subscription will auto renew annually.

But at the heart of the process is the use of prose to review, reflect on, and integrate concepts. 3. RogersC.
