This article discusses reasoning books. Reasoning books have been proven very beneficial to students that are learning and understanding mathematics. Mathematical reasoning books can be used as a tool that helps students develop their reasoning and proof, communication, and vocabulary skills. These books also create a place for students to create a forum to explore and answer the difficult questions. The article explains the reasoning books being used in each way. The article also includes examples of student responses in mathematical reasoning books.
As a teacher I though that this article investigated a great and different way to assess students in math. I liked the idea of using mathematical reasoning books discussed in the article. I liked this idea because it allows teachers to fully assess students in math. This is important because teachers are often found to be not asking the questions that are difficult to answer because they would have to "invest" time in the question by having a complete understanding of material and have explored the material enough to know everything about it. Another thing I liked about this article was that it included student responses and an analysis of each. It gave me a better understanding of how to asses each student's responses in the reasoning book.
