Book Description
Equipped with this handy reference of more than 400 illustrated definitions, children will be able to quickly find the definitions and illustrated examples that will enable them to solve many of the math challenges they face. Covering everything from "addend" to "zero," this comprehensive resource gives students definitions, illustrations, and examples that can help them solve math problems. This handbook includes illustrated, concise explanations of the most common terms used in general math classes. The 400 illustrated definitions and examples are categorized by subjects that include ... measurement; algebra; geometry; fractions and decimals; statistics and probability; and problem solving. Each term has a concise definition and an example or illustration. This is a guide that needs to be on every child's desk. The Math Dictionary is much more than a compilation of words and definitions. This book has been organized to reflect the different areas of mathematics taught in elementary and junior high schools. Within each category are all the terms commonly used in this field of study, concise definitions, and many examples and illustrations. In addition, the last chapter provides instructions for basic operations and tables of commonly-used facts and equivalents. For other dictionary-type references in other topics see The Absolutely Essential Grammar Guide and The Absolutely Essential Writing Guide. Grades 4-9

I needed help in the classroom May 2, 2007

I am a third grade teacher and I have two children in college. I can tell you that I have found the Math Dictionary by Theresa R. Fitzgerald invaluable. At home I can use it as a quick and accurate referance guide. Often family members and neighbors will call me on the telephone and ask me a math definition or for an example on how to complete a math problem. With this book I can instantly respond accurately to their amazement. In the classroom I use it constantly so that I am not going through five different manuals and books looking for information I need to find quickly. I have had numerous parents at Partent-Teacher conferences tell me how much they love the reader friendly book. If you work with math in any compasity, you MUST have this book. It not only is a time saver, it will make you look good because you will 'know the answers' so quickly. There are just too many times the library is closed, or the internet isn't working. With Math Dicitonary for Kids you are always prepared to help any child or adult with a math question!

Wonderful tool for children. My daughter has never been a big fan of math but this book makes learning simple and fun.
Good Book for a class and resource January 31, 2008

This is a required text for a class. It will be used for the class and in the future when in the classroom teaching.
I priced this book and several others here at Amazon and on half.com. By the time you take shipping into account Amazon was the better deal. Half.com also unless you request (and not possible with all books) it come via media mail. Sometimes 21 days later you get the book.
