Stellalarella Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 We've found that the grammar definitions memorized and repeated in FLL and the phonics rule cards constantly reviewed in AAS work well for us, to aid in remembering concepts. I appreciate it that I can say, a verb is a word that _____________ or c says /s/ before __________ and the kids can instantly respond. It's such a helpful strategy for them to use in remembering what they need to know and also as a prompt from me when I'm teaching or tutoring. Does anyone know of something similar already in existence for math definitions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellalarella Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm looking for good definitions--perimeter is the distance __________ It's not that I couldn't sit down and think of all the necessary definitions and names of specific ways we talk about math (divisor, quotient, dividend...addends and sum etc.) I just thought I would check to see if anyone had recommendations on where to look. Yesterday I discovered that aliens had sucked out all organized information pertaining to perimeter from my children's brains. In my teacher's perspective, I feel like I've taught and taught and taught and taught this concept over the past 5 years. But they were still struggling to come up with a coherent way to explain the concept. Thus, I think we need some standardized and oft repeated definitions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithful_Steward Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Living Memory by Andrew Campbell has a section on math memory work. In addition to fact families, it covers measurement, prime numbers, common squares/cubes, Euclid's definitions, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
