The document discusses a three-tier classification system for vocabulary words in mathematics - Tier I words are basic words that rarely need instruction, Tier II words are frequently used and important for comprehension, and Tier III words are low frequency and specialized terms that should be taught when they arise in content. It provides guidance on identifying Tier II words that require explicit instruction based on likelihood of student knowledge and importance for comprehension, and identifying Tier III words based on frequency and specialization to content.
