How does writing play a part in a math classroom to develop understanding?

I was trying to think of some new ways to get my students to truly understand what they were doing while working their math problems. I thought that if they had to write their steps down in a detail format and explain to their friends, the boys would be able to catch their mistakes faster and see where they needed help. This blog explains our journey. I am also learning about project base learning this year. I will also be taking you though our journey of project base learning and geometry.

How To Videos

Here are two examples of the boys making their own how to videos. These videos are the results of the boys spending time writing out how to solve math problems and working on what goes into solving a problem. I let them put their own personalities into the videos. I hope you enjoy. :)
