A critical and often overlooked part of any math program is the use of proper mathematical language. Did you know that by 5th grade there are 53 geometry terms your students need to comprehend?
This 30 page math dictionary uses easy and clear definitions as well as formulas and examples so that students can learn and understand new math words without difficulty or cumbersome language. Most definitions include diagrams and/or illustrations for the visual learner. Over 300 common math terms are organized alphabetically for quick reference. When students are uncertain of a word or its meaning, this simple and straightforward dictionary is a good starting place. Make copies for your students so that they can place it in their math folder at the beginning of the year.
It is appropriate for students in grades 4-10.

I even use this resource on the college level because the glossary in the back of our math book lacks so many words!

Love this! I keep it on my thumb drive and it's always ready to pull up and use when my GED students have a question about math terminology. Only one disappointment - I see that it was included in the free items last week, and I had already purchased it! It is a great resource - thanks!

I am so sorry you missed the freebie for Teacher Appreciation Week. But I am glad your GED students find this dictionary helpful. My remedial college math students are constantly using it.

Oh my goodness! I've hit the Jackpot today, for sure. This is so thorough and clear... I'm sure it's going to set me on the road to curing my "math phobia" for sure! Will definitely come in handy when tutoring, and providing extra help to kids who are just using my room to catch up on other subjects! THANKS!

Scipi (TpT Seller)
At this time, I do not have a math dictionary for younger students. BUT it is something to think about developing. Thank you for the suggestion.

I currently teach remedial math students on the college level. I found their textbook was lacking on definitions that weren't written in "mathtese" so that is why I took the time to write this dictionary. All my students keep it in their math folders so it easily accessible.

I created this when I found the glossary of our math book was inadequate. I use it in both of my remedial college math classes.

Using your dictionary as a model, the kids are hyped about creating their own personal math dictionary.
Thanks big time.
Thanks big time.

I wish I had been given something like this when I was in school. The language is so simple, no matheze. The illustrations are uncluttered and compliment the definitions perfectly. The best thing I have ever seen. So easy to use. Great job Scipi.
