1) by using writing in a math for liberal arts class, you are using the opportunity to leverage something students are good at and familiar with.
2) their language helps us understand how they think about mathematical concepts like exponential growth

.@AliciaPL25 talks about how to use writing to help students work through ideas, and is showing student repsonses to a prompt asking students to think about real-life examples of exponential growth in the news.
Many lessons here
