Why blog in math?

In our math course, you will be learning mathematics graphically, numerically and algebraically. An important ability you should develop for any subject you study is the ability to verbalize what you have learned, both orally and in writing. To gain verbal practice, you will be asked to keep a math journal or blog. The purpose of a math blog is for you to write about concepts and techniques as you learn them, later after you've had a chance to think about them for a while, and to see growth and changes in your thinking. In doing so, you'll gain practice in writing about mathematics, I'll gain insights into your thinking and ways in which to better help you, and you'll have a source of reference in your own words to review before tests.
