ABSTRACT
Developing Type II processes in mathematics means learning and working like a mathematician. This is often far from what a typical math classroom looks like. The sharing of ideas also stimulates interest, heightens problem solving, and increases learning. Mathematical communication plays a big part in the development of mathematical processes and skills. As teacher educators and student teacher supervisors, the people always encouraged their preservice and in-service teachers to write down specific high-level questions to ask during a lesson. Mathematicians not only talk about problems and solutions, but also write their thoughts and solutions down for others to read and ponder. However, with the advent of new assessments aligned with the Common Core State Standards, more writing is required.
