Something that resonated with me is how specific we need to be with kids, even with vocabulary in math, because a slip in the correct vocabulary could lead them into misunderstandings. Or the proper vocabulary/terminology could help them understand better (for example, the two one-fourths, three one-fourths, etc)
As I work with junior high teachers they need to be aware of this as well.
