    Study Notes

    Explicit Instruction

    • Explicit instruction, also known as direct instruction, involves presenting information in a clear and structured way to support student learning.
    • It is especially successful when teachers provide explicit guidance and support to help students understand complex concepts and skills.

    Vocabulary Instruction

    • Students should learn vocabulary in context, through explicit instruction and opportunities to practice and apply it.
    • Teachers should use a deliberate and intentional approach to help students learn vocabulary effectively.
    • The key to vocabulary truly being learned is when students use it in meaningful ways to communicate their ideas and understandings.

    Mathematics Instruction

    • The main goal for students in a mathematics class is to think about and understand mathematical concepts in meaningful ways.
    • Teaching mathematical vocabulary is important because it helps students understand mathematical concepts and communicate their ideas effectively.
    • If students are unfamiliar with the vocabulary particular to a content area, it can hinder their ability to understand the concepts and ideas being taught.

    Importance of Vocabulary

    • Mathematical concepts and vocabulary are directly linked, and understanding vocabulary is essential to understanding mathematical concepts.
    • Teaching mathematical vocabulary is similar to teaching vocabulary in a new language, as it requires students to make connections and build meaning.
    • Students need to make connections themselves to truly understand the meaning of mathematical vocabulary, and simply memorizing definitions is not enough.

    Teacher Reflection

    • Teachers should ask themselves which words and concepts to teach, and consider how they can help students make connections and build meaning.
    • It is important to teach mathematical vocabulary to help students understand mathematical concepts and communicate their ideas effectively.
