How to Use the Glossary and Activity Book
The Academic Vocabulary Builders series includes a Glossary and an Activity Book. The Glossary
defnes words by using plain language, simple examples, and pictures whenever possible. The
Activity Book offers students the opportunity to practice using the terms in the Glossary.
Both the Glossary and the Activity Book group terms under the same broad headings:
Number Sense and Operations
Measurement
Geometry
Data Analysis and Probability
Algebra
Each category contains alphabetized terms that pertain to that topic. This organizational structure is
intended to help students recognize the classifcation of related terms, thus assisting with recall and
comprehension. The index provides an alphabetical listing of all terms.
Although students can learn the words in the Glossary by studying a few words at a time, the most
effective way is by using the words in context. The Activity Books purpose is to provide that
opportunity.
If a student completes every page in the Activity Book, he or she will have reviewed every term
in the Glossary.
Step 1: Assign an activity page. You can start with Page 1 or fnd a page most suitable for
current reading and language arts study. For ideas, refer to the topic headings, grade level
groupings, or words you know students are struggling with.
Step 2: Ask students to complete as much as possible individually, in pairs, or in small
groups. If they do not know the term, they can refer to the page footer that explains where to
go in the Glossary for help.
Step 3: Review the activity together. Discuss further examples of the terms and schedule a
review of terms learned.
Additional options for using the Glossary:
Have students study the terms as they encounter them in class or on practice tests.
Introduce the terms according to the topics under which they appear.
Assign students 5 terms a day to learn from the Glossary.

Recommended use for ESL students
and struggling readers
Using the Glossary with ESL students:
Academic Vocabulary Builders The Essential Math Glossary I: A Student Reference
Guide and Activity Book were planned with ESL learners in mind. For those ESL
students who may have had exposure to the reading and language arts concepts but may
not know what they are called in English, the Glossary has specifc examples that help
students recognize a familiar concept.
The simplifed defnitions make the terms accessible to ESL learners at
various profciency levels, including beginners.
The concrete examples that accompany the defnitions help clarify and
confrm the defnitions.
The illustrations, charts, and activities make meanings clear to ESL
students.
Studies show that effective ESL teaching strategies include explaining and modeling
concepts and using visuals for further demonstration.
Note: A successfully completed activity may indicate passive knowledge of a term,
which means the student should be able to apply the term to a question if asked to do
so. They may not, however, be able to defne the terms out of context. To do so requires
productive knowledge of the academic language. Acquiring academic English, which
requires specialized use of content-based vocabulary, may take as long as 5 to 7 years.
Using the Glossary with Struggling Readers:
Unlike profcient readers, struggling readers lack the vocabulary to comprehend the
materials they are reading. This is particularly true when vocabulary words are content
specifc or academic words. Academic Vocabulary Builders The Essential Math
Glossary I: A Student Reference Guide helps them become familiar with elementary
school mathematics content words.
Each word is defned using simple language.
With every word, the real-world example and appropriate visuals provide
additional sources for comprehension.
The Glossary and Activity Book provide many opportunities for students to
practice and review words.
Studies show that when struggling readers see words used in many different contexts,
their vocabulary and comprehension skills improve.
