I am a BIG fan of spending time “Talking” about maths with my students, especially when revisiting or introducing a new math concept. In this blog post, we’ll share with you why you should be too, and the math vocabulary Resources you need to get started! 

A quick 5-minute brainstorm of math words and their meaning saves a whole world of confusion and helps the kids feel knowledgeable about maths BEFORE they’ve even solved a math problem!  So learning math words and building math vocabulary is a ‘MUST’ in all my math lessons! 

Did you know that there’s a ton of research to support the importance of good math vocabulary and achievement levels? 

Yep! Researchers have found that spending time on building math vocabulary will have a huge impact on student achievement.

 Studies by Swan & Dunstan; Hirsh & Nation found:

• vocabulary is connected with reading comprehension and is a predictor of students’ comprehension
• Students need to know 90-95% of the words in a text before they can comprehend that text
• Vocabulary needs to be explicitly taught first
• Students from low socioeconomic areas need greater support
• Teaching math vocabulary can help raise student achievement levels
• Students with high vocabulary are better at mathematical reasoning

So it’s pretty clear that including math vocabulary activities is a winner!
