Vocabulary Strategy

I used a chart called "Alike but Different" to help my students differentiate between range, variance, and standard deviation in statistics. In previous years, the students always seemed to have a hard time keeping them straight, especially variance and standard deviation. This year, my concepts kids really liked the "Alike but Different" graphic organizer and they did much better on keeping the three straight in their minds on the quiz we had. I can't wait to see if it holds through to the test.

I can't wait to see the strategies that my study groupmates feature.

Sounds like a great strategy and the nice part is that it would be applicable with so many topics.
