How to Start
 Explain to your class why adding a gesture or picture of a math
word helps memory
 Watch the video
 Practice the motions with your class
 Use the motions as a reminder when solving problems
 Play games like Charades, Simon Says, or do brief warm up with
the words
 Quiz students on the words; challenge them to see how many they
can remember, draw, or use in word problems
 Take photos of students acting out the words, and post the photos
on a word wall
