Subject Specific Vocabulary
For MathematicsVocabulary development It is important to introduce children to the correct vocabulary at the appropriate time and within a suitable context. It is often helpful to do this using relevant real-life objects, mathematical manipulatives and visual representations such as pictures and diagrams. All children need regular, planned opportunities to develop their mathematical vocabulary in order that they become familiar with the language and are not confused by mathematical terms. They need to acquire the words necessary for them to take part in lessons and activities, respond to questions correctly and carry out tasks successfully. Fun games and activities, such as the following example, can be a useful way to rehearse words and their meanings regularly. Effective questioning Whilst children may be able to remember new terms, learning the meanings of words requires more than memorisation. To help children understand mathematical ideas and support them in using mathematical terms correctly, it is vital to employ a variety of questioning techniques to promote good dialogue in mathematics lessons. open and closed questions As teachers, we should be asking a variety of types of question. Effective questioning will include both closed questions with a single correct answer (What sort of number do you get when you add two odd numbers together?) and open questions with a number of possible answers to encourage children to think more deeply (What sort of numbers do you get when you add three consecutive numbers together?). Encouraging children to explain their thinking and methods is also vitally important. The answers given will provide teachers with useful assessment opportunities and evidence of children’s level of understanding. Follow-up questions such as How do you know? or What makes you think that? as well as Can you give me another example? are essential to probe, develop and consolidate understanding. Planning open questions that have more than one answer or more than one route to arrive at an answer gives more children a chance to respond. Open questions can also offer greater challenge and extension opportunities for higher-attaining children, encouraging them to search for alternative, less obvious or more general answers. Useful question starters When planning open questions, the following question stems and sentence starters can be helpful: • Explain why ... • I wonder why ...
• How do you know ...? • Does anyone know ...? • What will happen if ...? • How will you know ...? •How can we find out ...? • Can you describe ...? • Convince me ... • Is there another way ...? • What makes you think that ...?
