  1. Ideas for Teaching Math Vocabulary

  2. Nagy’s principals of effective vocabulary instruction • Integration: new words must be related to each other and to what students already know. • Repetition: many encounters with new words are necessary … to have a measurable effect. • Meaningful use: students need to think deeply about the meanings of words in order to be able to use these. Nagy, W. (1988). Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension, NCTE and IRA.

  3. Provide a description, explanation, or example of the new term. Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words. Ask students to construct a picture, symbol, or graphic representation of the term. Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of the terms. Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another. Involve students periodically in games that allow them to play with terms. Six Step Process for Teaching Vocabulary Marzano, R.
