We've started unit 6 on Geometry which brings us wonderful new (and old) vocabulary terms such as: parallel, perpendicular, line, line segment, ray, angle, right angle, vertex, etc.
To help your child at home with vocabulary, I've included a link below to what will soon be on our new math world wall in the classroom! It has lots of math vocabulary words that have some illustration with the name that gives its definition. This can be a fun and visual way for students to learn what all these fantastic new words mean!
Not all of these words are specific to 3rd grade nor are all of these words we've encountered so far. However, I think they are just too good to not look at! I hope you feel the same way.
The Mathematics Word Wall was developed by Michele S. Weiner, Regional Center II Instructional Supervisor.
