Vocabulary
By JR

I teach in Texas also. What I have done to make a flip book with the voc. words and then find pictures in the newspaper to illustrate it. For example for the word addend they would find a number in the newpaper; then find
another number glue them on and then write the word addend under each number and then try to find a picture to illustrate the sum. 1(addend) + 3(addend)= 4 separate pictures or 1 picture with 4 things in it. To make the flip book fold the paper horizontial then fold into thirds. Open the paper and cut on the fold onlly going up to the top of the paper don't cut all the way through. Write

addend on the first flip lift up glue the number write addend on the second flip lift up put the second number write sum on the third flip lift up and put picture. You can do all the voc. words like that with and example. I like using them for expanded notation only I fold the paper vertically/we write the small number on the front and make it bigger(expand it inside) After you have done many vocabulary words you could hole punch them and string together with yarn. You could have them out for open house if it is early enough and it helps the parents too. Hope you understand all this.
