Common Core Math Standards Top Words Grade 7 2014 Supplemental Common Core Math Intervention

Common Core Math Standards Top Words Grade 7 2014 is a Supplemental Common Core Math Intervention (can be funded by Title I in most districts). Its focus is on the words of math and more specifically the non-math words used by the Common Core State Standards for Math. The intervention is designed to be a zero-period before school, or a stand-alone math intervention period during school or an afterschool math intervention. Basically each class focuses on a few words from this book which appear frequently in the Common Core Math Standards with a quiz each week, typically on Friday. The intervention instructor puts words on the board and uses the 5 to 12 word short definitions in conjunction with the detailed definitions to instruct on the words. Students take notes and study for the weekly quizzes. In addition to class notes and the use of this book, there are free playlists at CCM42.com. Common Core Math Standards Top Words is based on The Original Study. The Original Study showed many support math vocabulary words to be misunderstood by students. Here is just one example, the study showed the word "adjacent", used in math textbooks, math standards and verbally by teachers in math classes, to be understood by 40% of 9th graders to mean "across from" which is the opposite meaning of the correct definition of "next to." The word adjacent is not a math vocabulary word but a support math vocabulary word as it is used to explain understand math concepts (sides of a shape may be adjacent to each other or angles may be adjacent to each other, etc.). So math classes, especially Common Core Math Standards math classes, must provide direct instruction on not just math vocabulary, but math support vocabulary. The Supplemental Common Core Math Standards Intervention using this book is a good switch from the traditional math classroom focus on math topics and focuses instead on the words used to describe math topics. But which support math vocabulary words to teach and learn? This guide arranges vocabulary words according to their frequency in the Common Core State Standards for Math. Even students who struggle in math classes have found this math intervention to be enjoyable and easy. Common Core Math Standards Top Words is a Supplemental Common Core Math Intervention which is easy and fun to teach and well received by students. Greater exposure to math and math support vocabulary allows students to interact with standardized tests more effectively because many are based on the vocabulary or the language of math. Please find free playlists at CCM42.com. Common Core Math Standards Intervention Class: Use the words in this guide to instruct on a daily basis on the support words of math. Use the Quick Study Summary Sheets 5 to 12 word definitions in classroom discussions and the Detailed Definitions to back up the short definitions. Give a quiz once a week. While this guide can be used within the regular math classroom, there is often not enough time to separately focus on the words of math. This guide is best used in a zero-period before school or a dedicated intervention class period during the regular school day, or in an afterschool math intervention class.
