5 Math Terms to Add to Your Classroom Word Wall

What is a math word wall? 

A word wall is a wall that displays high frequency math terms (words that you often use in text, talk, or visuals). Word walls are an important part of the math classroom. They reinforce the correct spelling of math terms, help display terms for writing and talking about math, and show connections between terms.

What makes a word wall successful?

A word wall's success hinges on three things. 

• Collaboration
• Daily Use
• Student Created
  

Students need to collaborate as a class to make the word wall. This is a great mini lesson for the students to create definitions, pictures, and examples to add to the word wall. The best word walls are not static pictures created by a publisher or teacher. The best word walls are student created and interactive. When students take ownership of the classroom environment they thrive. They go from daily visitors in the teacher's room to active community members in a place of learning. Watch your students use the word wall daily in discussion, writing, and more.
