................... Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Since we are now using 6th grade math, I'm thinking it's time to start doing math flash cards. Each definition plus an example. Asssociative, commutative, Order of Operations, etc. I know my kids will revolt at having more flashcards to make, but I really think it'll help a lot! Words like Exponent, Base, Quotient, etc. with an example underneath for a visual so studying doesn't get too wordy. My kids have been asking a lot lately things like "What's a quotient? What's a divisor?" etc. Has anyone else tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 My kids dislike flashcards. However I found these which may work for your purpose http://flashcarddb.c...lary-flashcards ETA: In case your kids don't fancy flashcards, you might want to try printing out a math glossary or buying a math dictionary for them 83 page math glossary PDF Dictionary of Mathematics Terms (Barrons Professional Guides) - amazon link, I like this one for K-12 math when I read it at B&N. Oxford Concise Dictionary of Math (876 pages, nice to reference but I'll borrow a library copy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hmm that's a neat idea. Thanks. I never knew that math glossaries or dictionaries existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 If your kids like visuals, this might be more suitable than the flash cards link I posted. The below link is for middle school math vocabulary cards http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/mathematics/resources/vocab_cards/math_vocab_cards_6-8.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
