Maths Vocabulary Checklist - Building Language Bridges

A simple, practical starting point for making the language of maths clearer.

Maths can become difficult when a child understands the calculation but does not fully understand the language in the question.

This 4-page vocabulary checklist is designed to help parents quickly identify which common maths words their child understands confidently and which may need more teaching or revision.

The checklist includes 87 key maths terms used across areas such as number, fractions, measurement, shape, data and problem-solving, with a final page to record your child’s score and note the words that need more practice.

Perfect for:

• spotting hidden gaps in maths vocabulary
• supporting homework and revision
• preparing for more complex maths word problems
• helping parents understand where language may be affecting maths performance
• children in 3rd–6th Class
