Educational Value of Wordle

I have created this Wordle to help students get to know the language and vocabulary they should become familiar with in order to help understand the solving equations process. After recently attending a John Collins professional development and listening to him promote to teachers how important and helpful vocabulary can be to student learning, I feel Wordle's can be a fun way to introduce students to a new topic and it's vocabulary. When I first look at a Wordle, I immediately start trying to find words that I recognize and know. For students, I will use the Wordle as an introduction and ask students what they know about any words they see on the Wordle. If there are any words they can not define, then they will find definitions that most apply to math. Lastly, I will give students the opportunity to create their own Wordle of the words they feel best apply to solving equations.
