There are many reasons why math journals are becoming popular at all grade levels. It provides the opportunity to reflect on their strategies and assess their own learning. Students can practice putting their knowledge into words both verbally and in writing. Teachers can gain insight into children’s abilities, opinions, understandings, and misconceptions. Instructional focus is also shifted from computation to problem solving and real-life application. It creates a documented portfolio-like record of student growth and progress. Many teachers choose to have students respond to math journal prompts in a separate math journal. Having a special math journal that’s different from everyday school materials can be very motivating for children. Teachers have students respond to math journal topics as part of a Math Notebook. My students will use these journals to reflect their mathematical thinking. They will use these journals to do bell ringers, explore math concepts, foldables, writing prompts ,etc. Their journals will also be used to practice open-ended assessments questions. There’s no one right way to do math journaling, so feel free to pick a format that makes sense for you.
