The Big Idea
Comprehension of math vocabulary terms is crucial to math success and humor is an effective way for students – even struggling students – to understand and recall important information. The front of each card in this set introduces a key math term using a funny, kid-friendly cartoon. The term is repeated in a question or problem on the back of each card, reinforcing comprehension. Use with the Hot Dots pen (sold separately).
