Why Teach Maths Vocabulary?

Teaching maths vocabulary is essential for unlocking student achievement.

It’s the key to solving word problems: For example, knowing that a question asking you to “scale down 10 by 2” means you must divide 10÷2).
It builds deep understanding: The words are the labels for the ideas. A student can’t truly understand decimals without knowing what a ‘tenth’ or ‘decimal place’ is.
It empowers students: It gives them the correct language to explain their thinking and sound like real mathematicians.
