Academic Vocabulary Mathematics
Los Banos Unified School District Carolann DeMoss
Teacher on Special Assignment - Mathematics These grade level lists of mathematical vocabulary words are the result of the compilation of a number of math word lists. An effort was made to include words that have a high frequency, are relevant to California mathematics standards and CST, and are found in the District’s adopted math textbook, Scott Foresman.
• There are 7 graded lists, Kindergarten through Sixth Grade • Each list is arranged in alphabetical order • A key for each grade level is provided to identify the vocabulary word’s origin
and frequency of occurrence The following published lists were used:
Nieroroda B. and Browning C. (1989). EDL core vocabularies in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies. Steck-Vaughn: Orlando.
Marzano R. and Pickering D. (2005). Building academic vocabulary: Teacher’s
manual. Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development: Alexandria.
California mathematics. (2001). Scott Foresman: Glenview.
Other publications used: California Department of Education (2005). California CST released test
questions. Retrieved at http://cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr on July 12, 2006.
Mathematics framework for California public schools. (2006). California Department of Education: Sacramento.
Use of the word lists: Vocabulary development, preview and review, English language development, word games, and a discussion regarding standard math language are a few of the potential uses for these word lists. Efforts towards the formulation of a school- or district-wide math vocabulary program could begin with these word lists.

Appendix An explanation of the word lists used in the creation of this document: California Standards Vocabulary and Released Test Item Vocabulary The author attempted to identify key grade level terms and phrases that were critical to student understanding of mathematics and the development of mathematical academic language. EDL Math Core Vocabulary Educational Developmental Laboratories’ (EDL’s) purpose for the development and publication of the core vocabulary list is to improve the readability of instructional materials. Two doctoral dissertations are the basis of the two grade level mathematics core vocabulary lists, grade levels 1 – 3 and grade levels 4 - 6. These lists provide information as to the frequency and importance of mathematical terms. Each word or phrase is ranked according to its frequency and placed in a category. EDL lists 473 math words in seven categories for grades K – 3 and 743 math words in nine categories for grades 4 – 6. EDL Core Vocabularies in Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies is referenced by ETS, Educational Testing Network Service - the company that creates the CST and CAHSEE, and individuals under contract for writing test items. For the purposes of this LBUSD Mathematics Academic Vocabulary List, the following EDL math categories were used: Grades K – 3: Words listed in Primary Categories I – III; 169 math terms Grades 4 – 6: Words listed in Intermediate Categories I – VI; 140 math terms Marzano Marzano and Pickering created the lists by taking words from national standards documents and organizing the words into grade level sections. The authors caution the user(s) to make determination as to which words are critically important, useful but not critical, and interesting but not very useful to the understanding of mathematics.
Academic Vocabulary Word Lists: Level 1: grades K – 2; 80 math terms on list Level 2: grades 3 – 5; 190 math terms on list Level 3: grades 6 – 8; 201 math terms on list
Scott Foresman Vocabulary Grade level math words were obtained from each grade level’s teacher editions. The words are listed as “Building Vocabulary” at the beginning of each chapter.
