Writing in math has definitely been a change. Has it been a change for a better? Yes, it has. Now that the policy is changing, we're definitely going to have to get used to it.  Common Core testing is going to require us to use evidence and support our answers in every subject we test in.

Going back to the question: How has writing in math helped me this year? Well, it definitely helped improve my math AND writing skills since we are doing both at the same time. Another thing is that it helped me improve my ability to provide evidence and support my reasoning. Although I don't like the change that is being applied, it definitely will improve our ability to do these things.
