Our Year 4 Math Vocabulary Printables are perfect for extending your students’ math vocabulary. Available as Printables, Online Games, and Posters for Distance Learning.

Knowing the extent of students’ mathematical vocabulary will save a whole world of confusion about a math concept, so a quick 5-minute brainstorm of math words is the perfect way to expose students’ prior knowledge of math words. And we’ve got the Math Vocabulary Resources to get you started! 

Researchers have also found that vocabulary is also linked to student achievement levels.

So learning math words is a ‘MUST’ in all my math lessons! 

Research studies by Swan & Dunstan; Hirsh & Nation that found:

• vocabulary is connected with reading comprehension and is 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!
