In the days leading up to the beginning of the school year, we set a goal as a department that vocabulary building would be the focus in all of our classrooms. We know that I students struggle with reading across the discipline. It is important that students build their academic and content vocabulary in ALL classes. In doing so, they have a better chance of passing in assessment.
The following pages provide you with math specific examples in all four of the strategies mentioned previously. Also, I provide suggestions as to where you can locate vocabulary that should be covered during any unit in which you are teaching.
Remember, the idea is to get the students to create the graphic organizer. You would then use the best ones for the word wall.
