Systems of Equations

In chatting with some of my math friends I have found that they would like me to share not just my thinking maps, but some vocabulary strategies as well. Ask and ye shall receive!

• Defining the Vocabulary - I created this "Read for Understanding" activity to help students define their terms while practicing their reading comprehension skills. I will support this activity with dictionaries.
• Word Puzzles - I continue to believe in the power of Word Searches and Crossword Puzzles as ways for students to practice their vocabulary. (These links might not work in Internet Explorer, but Google Chrome should work)
• Dictionaries - One more resource to afford, I know, so here is how I keep it cheap;
• You can have students use their phones to look words up on the internet or download a dictionary app, or collect old cell phones with WiFi access
• You can buy used dictionaries, sometimes even math specific ones, for a dollar or two at Goodwill
• You can print your own thanks to AZWorksheets.com

Thinking Maps - So far I have a double bubble for this chapter, but I'm working on more...
