Math Vocabulary Words

Picture
Building Math Skills Simple activities can help your child master math vocabulary When children learn math, they also need to learn a whole new vocabulary. If they have to stop to think about words like product or quotient, they won't be focused on doing the math.

Just as your child needs to learn basic math facts from memory, he also needs to understand many math terms. So make a game of learning math words.

Here are three activities you can try with your child:

  1. Link math symbols to math words. Have your child create flash cards with a symbol on one side and the word it represents on the other. Use the flash cards to help your child review.
  2. Play math concentration. Write a math term on one card. Write its definition on another card. Then deal out five or six pairs of cards face down. Your child tries to remember both the definition of the word and where he saw it.
  3. Create funny cartoons that show the word doing the thing it represents. For example, the math term product is the answer you get resulting from multiplying two numbers together. The goal is to link the word product with multiply. So your child could write the word as "pro (x) duct = product."

Matemáticas Actividades que pueden ayudar a dominar el vocabulario matemático Cuando los niños aprenden matemáticas, también necesitan aprender todo un vocabulario nuevo. Si tienen que detenerse para pensar en palabras como producto o cociente, no estarán concentrados en hacer el problema matemático.

Así como su hijo necesita aprender datos matemáticos básicos de memoria, también debe comprender muchos términos matemáticos. Entonces haga que aprender palabras matemáticas sea un juego.

Aquí hay tres actividades que puede probar con su hijo:

  1. Relacione los símbolos matemáticos con las palabras matemáticas. Haga que su hijo elabore tarjetas didácticas con un símbolo en un lado y la palabra que representa en el otro lado. Use las tarjetas para ayudar a su hijo a repasar.
  2. Juegue a concentrarse en el aspecto matemático. Escriba un término en una tarjeta y su definición en otra. Luego reparta cinco o seis pares de tarjetas volteadas. Su hijo debe tratar de recordar la definición de la palabra y dónde la vio.
  3. Haga caricaturas chistosas que muestren la palabra describiendo lo que representa. Por ejemplo, el término matemático producto es la respuesta que obtiene al multiplicar dos números. La meta es relacionar la palabra producto con multiplicar. Entonces su hijo podría escribir la palabra como "pro (x) ducto = producto."
