Using Tagul to create - Grade 4 CCSS Math Overview

This Tagul Word Cloud was created from the overview of 4th grade Common Core Standards found in the Indiana Common Core State Standards for Mathematics PDF document found on the Indiana DOE website. Tagul identified common words (is, of, the and others) that were not included in the cloud.  I then went through the list to combine some words into phrases as they were found in the document.  I changed the URL links for the default Google searches to add the word definition or to put in quotes around the word phrases.

What I like best about using Tagul this way is that I can quickly see what words are used most frequently because they appear larger than others.  While this is not a substitute for reading the document it does provide a good visual overview.
