Instructional Ideas

  1. Teachers can present students with a word problem, and teachers can require students to circle any mathematical vocabulary that they do not know. Next, with the support of a peer or a teacher, students can search for the flashcard in this app that represents the term they circled.
  2. Teachers can select a flashcard from this app and teach it. Next, teachers can show students both example problems and real world situations where the term on the flashcard is used. Finally, teachers can ask students if they can brainstorm a time or situation when they have or could have used the term. Students can reply orally or in writing.
  3. After students become familiar with the flashcard format used by this app, teachers can present them with a term not included in this app and have students create a flashcard for it. The flashcard students produce should model the ones found in this app.
  4. Before a test or quiz, teachers can allow students to review the contents in this app.
