open Background Essay

Many times students struggle with the mathematics vocabulary necessary to pass the GED® test and to cope with daily life. One way to introduce new terms is to help students connect with what they already know or can guess about the word or term. A real-world connection can also help to increase students' comfort level with new words, concepts, and terms. Students express a sense of relief and accomplishment when new terms can be self-defined using vocabulary and concepts with which they are familiar and comfortable.
