Abstract
The International Classroom Lexicon Project aimed to document national lexicons of middle-school mathematics teachers from different countries including Australia, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United States. This chapter introduces the Chilean Lexicon, reflecting terms that are in use by such teachers in the country. The lexicon was built by teachers and educational researchers. The work evolved since its original creation in 2014 and included several phases of internal and external validation. The current version of the lexicon includes 74 terms – predominantly short phrases – arranged in five categories. This chapter complements Chapter 4: What We Can Name in the Classroom: A Chilean Lexicon of Middle-school Mathematics Teachers. It introduces the terms and descriptions translated to English to make them available for a wider audience.
