English 3rd Grade A-L Vocabulary Cards And Word Walls

English 3rd Grade A-LVocabulary Cards and Word WallsRevised: 2/10/14Important Notes for Teachers: The vocabulary cards in this file match the Common Core, the mathcurriculum adopted by the Utah State Board of Education, August 2010. The cards are arranged alphabetically. Each card has three sections.o Section 1 is only the word. This is to be used as a visual aid inspelling and pronunciation. It is also used when students are writingtheir own “kid-friendly” definition and drawing their own graphic.o Section 2 has the word and a graphic. This graphic is available to beused as a model by the teacher.o Section 3 has the word, a graphic, and a definition. This is to be usedfor the Word Wall in the classroom. For more information on using aWord Wall for Daily Review – see “Vocabulary – Word Wall Ideas”on this website. These cards are designed to help all students with math content vocabulary,including ELL, Gifted and Talented, Special Education, and RegularEducation students.For possible additions or corrections to the vocabulary cards, please contact theGranite School District Math Department at 385-646-4239.Bibliography of Definition Sources:Algebra to Go, Great Source, 2000.
