Math Vocabulary is an important aspect of teaching math, and it is key to improving math scores on the SBAC tests. Vocabulary in math often gets overlooked, but understanding the vocabulary in math word problems is key to student success.

Below are links to the practice tests for the SBAC. Teachers should review the vocabulary in their grade-level test. The SBAC Math Vocabulary docs (linked below) are a list of the key vocabulary words used in every problem on the test. About one-third of those vocabulary words are in the Bridges curriculum, which means teachers need to teach the other two-thirds.

The Math Relational Vocabulary Word Chart (linked below) is helpful to students learning Place Value and is a good resource for 5th grade.
