Teaching Vocabulary in the Math Classroom
In their article, What’s the Big Deal About Vocabulary, Dunstan and Tyminski state, “The Frayer model (Frayer, Frederick, & Klausmeier 1969) is a graphic organizer that allows students to use inquiry to learn new concepts in mathematics and science.” Use it to make a literacy-math connection for your students (Dunston & Tyminski, 2013). To teach students… Read More Teaching Vocabulary in the Math Classroom
Mathematics Representations: Virtual or Concrete Manipulatives
Students with physical disabilities can utilize virtual manipulatives when access to concrete materials is not feasible. There is research that supports the use of technology-based manipulatives with students who experience difficulty with abstract mathematical concepts. Research Students with physical disabilities can utilize virtual manipulatives when access to concrete materials is not feasible. Further, there… Read More Mathematics Representations: Virtual or Concrete Manipulatives
