W.O.W. #9 Sem.2 Bulletin

 

The root words for this week are academic words. The following words are explain, illustrate, prove, relate, and respond.

 

In math class not only do students have to respond with correct answers, but they also have to prove their answers are correct. Also students may have the opportunity to explain the steps to the problems, illustrate with their work, and show how the steps and answers are related.
