 Math
Vocabulary
Our
lives entail memorising all sorts of numbers; home and office
phone numbers, social security numbers, bank account pin
numbers, addresses and postcodes. Use newspapers to increase
student awareness of the large amount of numbers that pervade
our lives. Have students circle and read aloud all the numbers
found on the front page of their newspaper.
Have
students locate and clip money-related words such as savings,
interest, income, tax and per cent. Have them look for words
that are measures but have no specific size, such as many,
gigantic, lowest price, family size, best deal and net worth.
In small groups have students discuss what these terms mean to
them.
