Frayer Model Sample

The Frayer Model was developed by Dorothy Frayer and her colleagues at the University of Wisconsin. This graphic organizer will lead students to a thorough understanding of new words. The corners generally include definition, facts or characteristics, examples and non-examples.

This is the modified template used in my math classroom. Based on the content, the example corner may include non-examples as well.


In order for students to communicate mathematically, they need a deep understanding of the content. Summarizing critical vocabulary via the Frayer Model can jumpstart this process.



This vocabulary graphic organizer highlights the Common Core State Standard HSF-IF.B.4 that is included in 7th and 8th Grade Accelerated Algebra 1.
