Description
What It Is:
This is a glossary worksheet designed to support English Language (EL) learners in understanding mathematical terms related to the order of operations. The worksheet defines words like 'expression,' 'operations,' 'order of operations,' 'parentheses,' 'sum,' and 'product.' Each word is accompanied by a definition and a visual representation or example. For instance, 'expression' is defined and shown as '33 + (12 x 6) - 9,' and 'operations' is visually represented with symbols for multiplication, subtraction, addition, and division. 'Order of Operations' is shown as PEMDAS with arrows indicating left to right for MD and AS.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 5-7. The concepts of order of operations are typically introduced around 5th grade and reinforced in subsequent grades. The glossary format and visual aids make it particularly helpful for students who are new to the English language or who benefit from visual learning.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps build vocabulary and understanding of key mathematical terms related to the order of operations. It provides visual aids and clear definitions, making it easier for students to grasp the concepts. It supports EL students by offering targeted vocabulary support, enabling them to participate more confidently in math lessons.
How to Use It:
Use this worksheet as a pre-teaching tool before introducing or reviewing the order of operations. Students can refer to it during lessons to clarify the meaning of specific terms. It can also be used as a reference guide for homework or independent practice. Consider having students create their own examples or drawings to further solidify their understanding.
Target Users:
The target users are primarily English Language Learners (ELLs) in grades 5-7 who are learning about the order of operations in mathematics. It is also beneficial for students who struggle with mathematical vocabulary or who benefit from visual aids. General education students in these grade levels could also use this as a reference sheet.
