Abstrakt: Writing in mathematics is critical to students’ learning, yet few teachers assess students’ mathematical writing (MW) or incorporate MW into their instruction. In an effort to increase preservice teachers (PSTs) attention to MW, we examined PSTs’ experiences with MW and the impact of a content module focused on MW embedded in mathematics methods courses at four institutions. Findings indicate PSTs had limited experiences with MW in K-16, yet saw it as valuable to students’ learning. After completing the module, the PSTs’ self-efficacy related to MW grew, indicating a greater likeliness of incorporating MW into their future practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
