Reviews:

I recommend this math dictionary to all parents with children from grade 2 through grade 9. Keep the dictionary in a spot you can refer to when the homework needs your help. One of the best math books available for parents and students.

Wonderful tool for children. My daughter has never been a big fan of math but this book makes learning simple and fun.

Math Dictionary for kids is a GREAT resource. Examples are written clearly and are easy to understand. In the back of the book there are graphs, tables, conversion tables and much more. As a Home School mom, it is even a wonderful review for me as I teach and guide my own children to learn. My child with special needs is even able to look up examples with the reference section and follow along. This is a highly recommended resource for everyone!
