Keeping a journal in mathematics classrooms has demonstrated some benefits in terms of students’ mathematics content learning, higher cognition, and problem solving skills. Watson (1980) stated that students who kept a journal achieved higher mathematics test scores than students who did not. Similarly, Borasi and Rose (1989) found writing a journal in the mathematics classroom not only increased students’ mathematics content knowledge, but also increased students’ problem solving abilities and skills. By keeping a journal, students had an opportunity to see how they do mathematics (Borasi & Rose, 1989). In turn, it has helped students construct new content knowledge (Hayes, 1996) in mathematics. Using writing to explain mathematical topics in a journal not only provides teachers with records of students, but also helps students clarify their own thoughts (Farris, 1993).
