Math Words in Motion with Bill Atwood

For. The ground. Hi, I'm Bill Atwood. I've been a classroom teacher for 20 years and a consultant for the last ten. And we wanted to make this video and with math vocabulary because there are so many math vocabulary words that students need to know. Welcome everyone. I'm so glad that you're here today because today I'm going to be showing you how you can learn some really important math, vocabulary words. The goal is to get you to say it, to hear it, to act it and to picture it. I'm going to show you how you can learn these words and never, ever forget them. Follow along with me, whatever I do, you do, whatever I say, you set. Digits. Hundreds place. Tens place. Ones place. These are the digits. Math isn't really a vocabulary class, but vocabulary is a big part of now. And the reason it's important to know a lot of vocabulary words is because the vocabulary word kind of holds the idea. 5, four, three, two, one, zero, four, 8, 12, 16, four, 8, 15. It's the same on both sides. Solid. Face. Multiples. The best thing about these vocabulary activities is it gets them out of their seats, it gets them excited. They're having fun with it. And it's helping them master all the vocabulary words they need for math to do well on tests. Distance surround with shape. This is based on the research and Robert marzano, who showed that if you have a picture with a vocabulary word, you remember it 34% better. But that research in my back pocket, I started working in schools, teaching kids symbols, signals really gestures for math vocabulary words. I tend to teach this way anyhow. I like to put a lot of movement and music and motions into my teaching. When he was showing them what to do, every child was actually following the movements. So I think it would be very beneficial. So this video is going to show you how you can teach students math vocabulary words in your classroom, have a lot of fun doing it. Make it a little competitive and use it as a tool to review the hundreds of math words that kids need to know in the grade that you teach. Give yourselves a round of applause.
