Learn about an action research project completed by two fourth-grade teachers. The project studied the use of graphic organizers, journaling, and peer turn-and-teach in helping students to learn math vocabulary. Both teachers reported an increase in test scores that assessed the use of vocabulary in math problems and an improvement in the recall of the words in a vocabulary survey.
