coming full circle

My 8th grade preAP geometry students are in the middle of their testing cycle on circles. I'm so excited that this unit is complete. I was totally swimming in circles from day to day! The circle content overlaps a lot. So much so that I struggled to find the best option for chunking the content for learning purposes. I actually didn't resolve that issue until the very end when we completed the review summary. (Click on the pic to find this product in my TpT store.)


And these circle properties summary cards are my favorite part of the entire unit. This spin off of the Frayer Model for vocabulary worked to pull everything together. Whew!


All of our core 8th grade teachers use the Frayer Model for vocabulary. Each student has a set of index cards to use in their classes.

Do you use a similar model for vocabulary? Or do you have an alternate plan that works best for math vocabulary?
Hope you have a great week...make it count!
