Integrated teaching
Multiple concepts are used in problem-solving at once
Auditory learning
Learning primarily by hearing things i.e. lectures
Visual learning
Learning primarily by seeing things Ex. written examples
Learning style
The manner in which a student learns best
Numeric representation
A model using numbers to display a mathematical concepts
Metacognition
The ability to think about one’s own thought process
Auditory methods
Lessons using materials for students to listen to
Proportional manipulatives
Objects that are proportional to each other with respect to shape and size
Word wall
An on-going bulletin board with common terms used frequently in the classroom. Vocabulary words are added as they are introduced
Heterogenous group
Group comprised of individuals working on various levels
Homogeneous group
Group comprised of individuals working on the same level
Pie chart
A graph in which a circle is divided into sectors that each represent a proportion of the whole pie charts are helpful when displaying the relative distribution of categories
Behaviorism
Learning theory rooted in the notion that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment
Compartmentalize teaching
Concepts taught one at a time in isolation of other concepts no longer recommended
Texas essential knowledge and skills
The state foundation curriculums developed by the state Board of Education that requires all students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to read write compute problem solve think critically apply technology and communicate across all subject areas
Kinesthetic learning/tactile learning
Learning primarily by touching things or doing an activity
Symbolic representation
A model using symbols or variables to display a mathematical concept for example a formula
Constructivism
Learning new behaviors by adjusting our current view of the world
Verbal representation
Word problems and verbal descriptions of how to solve a problem or what the solution means
Flexible grouping
Grouping students based on their learning needs or interests
Line graph
A visual representation of data which shows change over time or in response to a manipulated variable
Concrete representations
Using physical pieces to represent mathematical problems for example manipulatives
Coordinate plane
A plane often divided into a grid with a horizontal X axis and a vertical Y axis that intersects at the origin
Tactile methods
Lessons using materials for students to touch and handle
