Speaking from her own experiences as a math teacher, Sarah Kasten tells how---and why---she introduced reading and writing in her classroom, the challenges and the benefits. To create a need for reading mathematics, she created fact-finding expeditions that led students eventually to their own textbooks. In regard to writing, she shares how she directed her classes to do 5-minute impromptu writing assignments, explain their problem-solving process, or even explain a new concept and create their own example problems.
