Guide your students through the maze of academic vocabulary. Help them make sense of fractions, by understanding what the words mean!

Having a solid understanding of fraction vocabulary is like having a suitcase to keep ideas in. Students can collect and remember new ideas easily because they have a place to put them. First, students get together to research NUM, NOM, DE, and ATOR to find out how those roots and affixes impact the meaning of words like numerator and denominator. Next, they move into new groups with students that researched different word parts. They share what they've learned and work together to create a detailed understanding of fraction vocabulary.
