Terminology
The following terms are critical to the work of grade 1 module 5. This resource groups terms into categories called New, Familiar, and Academic Verbs. The lessons in this module incorporate terminology with the expectation that students work toward applying it during discussions and in writing.
Items in the New category are discipline-specific words that are introduced to students in this module. These items include the definition, description, or illustration as it is presented to students. At times, this resource also includes italicized language for teachers that expands on the wording used with students.
Items in the Familiar category are discipline-specific words introduced in prior modules or in previous grade levels.
Items in the Academic Verbs category are high-utility terms that are used across disciplines. These terms come from a list of academic verbs that the curriculum strategically introduces at this grade level.
New
digit
Numbers like 7 and 5 are called digits. When we write digits next to each other, we make another number. For example, we write the digits 7 and 5 next to each other to make 75. (Lesson 2)
compose
To compose means to be put together, or group. (Lesson 3)
place
A digit’s place is its position in a number. Numbers with two digits have two places: the tens place and the ones place. (Lesson 3)
value
Value is how much something is worth. For example, in the number 53, the 5 is in the tens place, so it has a value of 50. (Lesson 3)
