Write! Math
Write Your Math Autobiography
Writing a math autobiography connects students personally to the content. Students reflect on their own math knowledge and come to see themselves as central to the process of learning. In this activity, students create and illustrate math timelines, describe their timelines in writing, then share their math autobiographies with teammates.
