Our Maths Vocabulary Wall

One of the most valuable components to student learning is the understanding and use of new vocabulary. The prep team have incorporated into their lessons the use of a Maths Vocabulary Wall, where students are able to refer to key words we learn each week and use them in their maths investigations. As a class, we use the Maths Vocabulary Wall during our explicit teaching and particularly during our active reflections. Each Foundation classroom has one of these and the words change each week depending on the topic being taught. Last week we were learning about capacity and the students enjoyed using our wall to help them write these new words and to celebrate their successful learning.



"If students do not have the vocabulary to talk about maths concepts and skills, they can not make progress in understanding these areas of mathematical knowledge." - Michele S Weiner
