Despite research demonstrating positive effects of writing on student achievement, writing-to-learn remains under-utilised in mathematics and mathematics teacher education. In this paper, we explore how writing-to-learn tasks in a mathematics methods course influenced elementary preservice teachers' beliefs about teaching in two domains:…

Despite growing theoretical and empirical evidence that writing has the potential to be an effective tool for student learning in undergraduate mathematics, writing-to-learn integration in mathematics is rare. Major deterrents include perceived lack of alignment between writing and learning goals, deficit views of students' writing abilities, and…
