Failure to understand mathematical vocabulary may be because:
• children are confused about mathematical terms
(e.g. ‘odd’ and ‘table’ have different meanings in everyday English)• children are confused about the precise use of some words
(e.g. ‘area’ and ‘divide’ are used in everyday English and have similar though more precise meanings in mathematics)• children may not be familiar with mathematical vocabulary
(e.g. words such as ‘subtract’, ‘multiplication’)• children may not understand spoken and written instructions
(e.g. ‘draw a line between’, ‘ring’, ‘find two different ways to..’)

Having a structured approach to the teaching and learning of vocabulary
Introducing new words in a suitable context so they can be explained in a meaningful way
Ensuring children hear adults and other children using the new words correctly
Encouraging children to answer in complete sentences
Displaying the words and phrases the children will be using
Giving children the opportunity to read words aloud and silently
Help children to develop their understanding of mathematical vocabulary by:
