Three tips from this experience:

1. Don't feel like your anchor chart should look like this after the first day. Build onto the chart each day as language emerges.

2. All of the students language was recorded in blue, so that it was consistent and the students could tell how they were using the language. This was just an easy way to distinguish for both the teacher and the students. 

3. It's important that as you introduce new language, it isn't correcting student language. For a student to know that the number on the bottom of the fraction is the number of equal parts in a whole is impressive. Instead, we are just showing them another way to state it using specific math vocabulary.
