STORY:
As my first year as a math teacher, I worked specifically with the English Language Arts team to come up with a way that I could concentrate on vocabulary acquisition in math class without dedicating a whole bunch of time. We also wanted to place a specific focus on mathematics vocabulary acquisition for our English Language Learners. This file gives you 110 Greek and Latin roots which influence how we use the English language today (related specifically to math). These roots can be found in thousands of words in our modern day language and help students with spelling, acquiring new vocabulary, and deciphering the definitions of new words.
POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS:
There are so many extensions to using these roots once your students have memorized a few week’s worth. These roots automatically start creeping into your everyday language and new vocabulary words.
