Math Vocabulary
Every term, the visual way. Each word comes with examples, a non-example, and often a short video—so students meet a concept by seeing it, not memorizing it. Find a term, project it, and let the noticing begin.

Introduce Any Term
Don’t lead with the definition—lead with the visual. Show the examples and non-example before the meaning, and let students build the word themselves.
1
Show, don’t define
Project the term with its examples and non-example. Hide the definition.
2
Notice & wonder
Ask: what do you notice? What makes the examples different from the non-example?
3
Describe it
Students try to put the meaning into their own words—then discuss as a class.

Reveal the definition
Now show the real definition. Play the video to lock it in.
