Having a strong vocabulary is key to
comprehension and understanding in reading AND math! There are many math
terms students may already be familiar with, which is awesome!
Here is a list of math vocabulary 4th graders will be taught and applied
throughout this year. If you are curious as to the specific definitions
we use in class, please check out the
glossary in our ebook. You can also look for the
bold, blue words in the lessons. |
