[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How about, "I drew a rectangle with 4 boxes, and I shaded in 3 of them. Then I divided each box in half to make two boxes. Then 6 out of 8 boxes were shaded."? Do you think that would be a lot for a third grader to write, and if so, why?[/quote] I do think that is a lot for many 3rd graders to write, because in 3rd grade not all kids are writing fluently at grade level yet. My own daughter would be able to write that without much problem, but my son in 3rd grade would not have been. I dislike how math ability is being linked to writing ability now. Kids who can't write well tend to write shorter sentences and get less credit for having complex ideas. writing ability should not be linked to math assessment.[/quote]
