WHY? Fractions and decimals can be a challenging concept for students. By explicitly teaching academic math vocabulary for fraction and decimal terms, you’re providing students with the tools they need to be successful.

Mastering fraction and decimal vocabulary will prevent student misconceptions and help students feel more comfortable discussing and explaining their thinking during your fraction & decimal unit.

Incorporate math vocabulary as a regular part of your math block by continuously reviewing and helping students make meaningful connections to fraction and decimal academic terms.

Display these fraction & decimal vocabulary cards on a math word wall for students to reference. Post these math vocabulary cards on the board every time you’re engaging students in a fraction lesson or fraction activity. Use the small versions for students' interactive math notebooks.
