FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

Larson, Dix, and Townsend believe that providing opportunities for students to practice academic vocabulary is invaluable.  They predict such vocabulary exercises will ensure students achieve academic success.  They also suggest that vocabulary instruction must be active and engaging for students to “buy-in” to the importance of learning new words and concepts.  Likewise, Collier states that students must be engaged “in meaningful and varied activities to help cement these words into long-term memory” as well as to make connections to what they already know.  This lesson provides a unique method to review math content vocabulary, and it integrates technology so that students can become proficient with the tools of technology as supported by the NCTE Definition of 21st Century Literacies.
