Maths Terms and Tables – Simple descriptions of terms, clear tables, charts and diagrams – Ages 8+

Written by leading mathematical educators, Paul Swan, Linda Marshall and Jack Bana. In language it is common for a parent, teacher or student to make use of a dictionary to check the spelling, meaning, pronunciation or origin of a word. In mathematics, however, where language can often prove to be a stumbling block, it is rare for a dictionary to be consulted. In this publication we have tried to give brief and simple explanations of terms without sacrificing accuracy.

Features:

• comprehensive listing of common mathematical terms, tables and concepts
• brief yet accurate definitions
• written in unambiguous, easily understood language
• explanatory diagrams and examples used whenever appropriate or necessary
• topic-based overview of key ideas in the latter half of the book
• a highly accessible resource for users at all levels–students, teachers and parents
