Word ID • Math

Like texts in the other content areas, math writing is characterized by academic language and unfamiliar content-specific vocabulary. Math relies on the very precise meanings of technical vocabulary. There are two other factors that add to the complexity of math texts. First, they are characterized by graphic elements such as charts and diagrams. And second, they are dense with math symbols such as +, =, or >.
