<br/><br/> Setting the stage  --  Speaking mathematics  --  What about deliberate vocabulary work? --  Problem-solving write-ups  --  Mathematical reflections  --  Expanding vocabulary with journals and homework  --  Self-assessment as a vocabulary development tool  --  Mathematics vocabulary: a focus for writing --  Creating mathematics poetry  --  Putting vocabulary learning strategies into context. 
<br/><br/> As Miki Murray proves, mathematics vocabulary has the power to enhance the conceptual learning of mathematics for middle school students. It's an essential tool to help them to express their mathematical thinking coherently and clearly to peers and teachers, to share problem-solving techniques, to gain confidence, and to participate in classroom discourse. Murray offers a range of strategies that highlight the important role languange plays in the learning of math.
