Shallowater ISD Math Vocabulary

Implementation Plan
In Kindergarten, students will have a math vocabulary folder in which they
will write the word and draw an illustration of what it means. Then the word
will go up on the Math Vocabulary wall.

In Grades 1, 2, and 3, students will create and maintain a math vocabulary

folder. Students will create a variety of graphic organizers to demonstrate
their knowledge of each word. Students will maintain a list of the words, as
well as the words definitions, examples/non-examples, illustrations, and
use of words in sentences.
EXAMPLE: sum

Sum: The answer when numbers

sum
are added together.
________________________________________________________________

1+1=2

2 is the sum of 1+1

sum

In Grade 4, students will create and maintain a math album out of 4x6
plastic sleeve photo albums. Students will maintain a list of the words, as
well as the words definitions, examples/non-examples, illustrations, and
use of words in sentences.

In Grade 5, weekly cumulative quizzes over vocabulary will be given all

year. The words will be reviewed daily using flash cards. Also, there will
always be a vocabulary section on the unit tests. The vocabulary section
on the unit tests are words that are being taught in that particular unit.
Vocabulary cards will be displayed around the room.

In Grade 6, a Word Wall will be utilized. Words being used for the current
chapter will be placed on the Word Wall, along with an example and the
definition. A Mid-Chapter vocabulary test and a Chapter vocabulary test
will be given on these words.

In Grades 7-- 12, the vocabulary from the grade level and/or class TEKS,
plus SAT vocabulary, will be implemented during classroom instruction
through lecture and practice, through examples, illustrations, and use of
the words in sentences and application.
