Talk to Me Teaching the Language of Math October 21, 2011 Derrick Brown Slide 2
4. 5.
Math is the study of patterns ... Students must learn to do math, and must then learn what math does. Language (how we use words and sounds to communicate) and discourse (verbal expression in speech and writing) are more important than vocabulary (knowledge of words). Language mastery is the key to content mastery. Language mastery is the key to self-expression - which develops self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-discipline.
Content mastery is predicated upon using self-expression to build self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-discipline.

Talk To Me Rules
The clue giver is aided (in some cases) by having the term's definition provided. The clue giver is also prevented from giving certain verbal clues. Teams take turns giving and guessing clues for 60 seconds per round. At the end of the game, the team that guessed the most terms correctly wins!
