All Math Words Dictionary: Classroom Edition For students of Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Intermediate Algebra (Expanded Market) - Softcover
Synopsis
One of the difficulties many students experience in learning math skills has to do with the fact that an entire language, both spoken and written, has grown up around math. Students that acquire that language are successful in math studies. Students that do not acquire that language have serious problems with mathematics. This dictionary is designed to aid in the acquisition of the language of math using the four 'C's:
- Concise: Definitions are compact, yet understandable.
- Complete: All words and phrases of interest to students of the target classes are included, plus a few just beyond the scope of the target classes. Tables of symbols and notation, formulas, and units of measurement, plus lists of properties of objects give the student all the information needed to cement their understanding of the concepts and decipher many problems.
- Correct: The definitions have been thoroughly reviewed for mathematical correctness.
- Comprehensible: The definitions are written to be understood by students in the target classes. Abundant illustrations aid in understanding.
