Even though the podcast revolves around vocabulary within the ELA (reading and writing) portion of the school day, I believe that Math class does a tremendous job of peppering vocabulary and vocabulary strategies into daily lessons. There are many mathematical concepts that are very abstract to little minds. Teachers  make a models of the concepts, describe the concepts, allow students to share ideas about how they see/understand the concept. We will often find examples and non-examples of the concepts. Students enjoy this activity and it really helps to solidify what the concept is versus what it isn't. Geometry and measurement are strands within math that these incidental vocabulary conversations can be had.
