摘要：The three-year National Science Foundation project titled Transactional Writing: Empowering Women and Girls to Win at Mathematics gave fourteen mathematics and English teachers on the college and middle school levels the opportunity to work collaboratively in the application of transactional writing—writing used to develop, construct, and express mathematical understanding. Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC) is a large, urban two-year college in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The college consists of six main campuses and several outreach centers. The Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is a large, urban school system in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The participants were in five different groups of students in the basic mathematics, introductory algebra, intermediate algebra, general college mathematics, and college algebra sequences, as well as groups of students in a one-, two-, or three-year middle school mathematics sequence. The objective was to determine whether combining communication skills with mathematical skills had a positive effect on students’ achievement and attitude.
