Can I use this Greek and Latin roots worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade Greek and Latin roots, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What does the Latin root sequ mean?
⌄
Sequ means follow. Sequel, sequence and consequence all name something that follows. Latin Roots Cede, Grad, Sequ and Fract pairs it with cede, grad and fract.
What does the suffix -itis mean?
⌄
It means inflammation, so arthritis is an inflamed joint and gastritis an inflamed stomach. Greek Word Parts in Medical Terms uses a box of parts like cardi, derm and -oscope.
How do students use a root word family matrix?
⌄
They pick three roots, such as cred or vert, write each root's meaning and add prefixes and suffixes. Then they build five real words for each root and explain what each one means.
