Teaching topic of the materials:
8th grade mathematics
Brief description of how the materials would be used:
I would use this activity for every lesson in my class. It is a crossword puzzle and I have used them many times in classes as a way to learn vocabulary.
Identify other material that you could use with this material to augment instruction, especially for EC students:
I believe that a crossword puzzle would be a great activity for any learner as a way to study vocabulary.
Explain why you would use this material with your students. How will the material help your students learn the topic?
Why I think that this material would work so well is because instead of being given the vocabulary word the definition is given and the students would really have to search for the word that match the definition. Instead of just giving them the word and they mindlessly copy down the definition.
