Did you have a chance to score some great deals at the Back to School sale through Teachers Pay Teachers? I know we filled our carts up with some goodies! If you didn't stock up on as much as you wanted to, today we are going to give you the chance to WIN one of our Math Vocabulary Bundles.
At one time, I used to believe that math was just about learning how to manipulate numbers to get the correct answer. Was I right? Not so much...
Math has its own unique language, and teaching that language is so important to students' success in math.
Here are the top reasons why we think teaching math vocabulary is so important:
1. Students need to understand the math problems they encounter before they can solve them. What will help your students to understand the problems? Knowing the key terms for the skills they are learning will certainly help them.
2. At some point we will all have the experience of teaching students who are learning English as a second language. Each year I have 1/3 to 1/2 of my class that fit into this category. These students especially need access to quality vocabulary instruction because many of these terms will be completely new to them.
3. By teaching our students the meaning of math terms, we are giving them the opportunity to be able to discuss math in a meaningful way. You will be amazed at the types of conversations you will hear coming from your kiddos once they know how to use math vocabulary.
And now on to the fun part! What can you win from us today? You can win your choice of a years worth of vocabulary posters to help with your vocabulary instruction. These posters are made with your students in mind- kid friendly definitions and bright fun graphics to help explain the terms. As an added bonus they make a beautiful bulletin board display.
