"To add on to Robin's idea...I've had much success using word sorts. This can be done at their seats in a group or as a class (more CR management required). Design a template in word using a table. For example 2 columns with 4…"

Robin Nehila replied to Lisa von Sprecken's discussion Need some ideas for math vocabulary!"Ooooh to add on to that idea, I would pass out blank BINGO type cards, have the kids write in the words from their notes or the word wall, and then play the definitions on PPT or Smartboard. Can even make it silent BINGO...get a full card for a…"
Patricia Rogers replied to Lisa von Sprecken's discussion Need some ideas for math vocabulary!"This is a great idea, Angela...I really like the idea of it being silent and personal...the next time I see these words I can see if I remember more of them than last time, but it's not for a grade---just mine own understanding. Thanks…"
Angela Walker replied to Lisa von Sprecken's discussion Need some ideas for math vocabulary!"Hi Lisa,
I create PPT or Smartboard presentations that look like flashcards and run them like a kiosk at the beginning of class once every 2 weeks (or as often as needed). Students come in and do a silent review. As the kiosk plays, students…"

Perhaps you can make contributing great examples to the Word Wall be…"
Kim Lightle replied to Lisa von Sprecken's discussion Need some ideas for math vocabulary!"Hi Lisa - Hope you get some ideas from the community but I did want to share some of the MSP2 resources that might help you. First of all we have a webinar called Reading Mathematics is Different. We also have some resources guides that might give…"
Lisa von Sprecken posted a discussionNeed some ideas for math vocabulary!
I'm looking for a creative (and better) way to make sure my students are keeping up with the new math vocabulary they learn throughout the course. I have tried having them keep a vocabulary section of their notebooks with the word, definition and example. I collect these on test days. I have found that most students are doing all their vocabulary the night before a test, when really they should be preparing for the test. Does anyone use a method that they like to keep students on track with…See More

- Hi Lisa - Welcome aboard! We are using this NING network as a place where educators can connect with each other (through answers to profile questions and the advanced Members search) and also as a way to connect educators with exemplary resources and professional development opportunities.
If you look on the Main page - you'll see MSP2 resources in the upper left hand box - we have resource guides where we have sifted and sorted and contextualized resources on topics important to middle school math and science teachers, an archive of all of our past webinars, the ability to search the MSP2 collection, and pages of teacher and student opportunities and grants.
We have have on the right side of the page our two project blogs - Resources for Math and Science and Connecting News. We also RSS feed the Free Technology for Teachers, Teach Engineering, and Science and Technology NYT blog feeds.
You can see a list of all the MSP2 events and others that we think would be of interest to our audience under the Events tab. We have groups - including a book club - and lots of conversations!
Please don't hesitate to post a question or comment. We are always looking for feedback and new ideas for PD opportunities and people who would like to present. So glad you joined - Kim
