Description

PURPOSE:

If you download this .zip file, you will have 11 weeks worth of an in-depth study into the foundations of the English language. Help your students hone their skills of morphology to unlock a new world discovering our language.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

This product contains:

✏️ 11 weeks of Greek and Latin Roots (110 total math-related roots) to study

✏️ 11 weekly quizzes applying the roots in a variety of vocabulary contexts

✏️ Printable sorting activity using all the roots and common word endings

✏️ 3 cumulative sets of reviews (for units 1-4, 5-7 & 8-10)

✏️ 3 cumulative sets of unit review quizzes (for units 1-4, 5-7 & 8-10)

STORY:

As my first year as a math teacher, I worked specifically with the English Language Arts team to come up with a way that I could concentrate on vocabulary acquisition in math class without dedicating a whole bunch of time. We also wanted to place a specific focus on mathematics vocabulary acquisition for our English Language Learners. This file gives you 110 Greek and Latin roots which influence how we use the English language today (related specifically to math). These roots can be found in thousands of words in our modern day language and help students with spelling, acquiring new vocabulary, and deciphering the definitions of new words.

POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS:

There are so many extensions to using these roots once your students have memorized a few week’s worth. These roots automatically start creeping into your everyday language and new vocabulary words.

Looking for a yearlong set with less roots and more concentrated vocabulary acquisition activities for ELA? Try my Greek & Latin Roots Study | ELA System

MATERIALS/PRE-REQS:

Besides this file, you may require:

✏️ Some practice together looking at what these quizzes are like or developing activities for studying and using the roots

Thank you for sharing this resource. I plan to use it in my math intervention class as part of their vocabulary study. So many of my students struggle more with reading and vocabulary than they do with math and I hope to see some progress as we focus more on this.
