A Maths Dictionary for Kids
By Jenny Eather
The strength of the Dictionary is its flexibility of use – either for whole class teaching on the interactive whiteboard or for individual reference on computers.
- Each entry contains a clear definition plus interactive activities to help you teach the mathematical vocabulary included in the renewed Primary Framework.
- The Dictionary provides a clear focus for the whole class when introducing lesson objectives, as an oral and mental starter activity, and as a reminder of concepts already covered.
- Use the Dictionary as a research tool for follow-up activities or as a practice tool where further support is needed.
- Use in the review sessions to summarise key concepts and definitions and to assess children’s learning.
- Dictionary pages can be imported into the Mult-e-Maths activities using the Lesson Builder within the New Framework Edition Teaching CD-ROMs.

What the teachers say
"This really is an excellent piece of software. It was used primarily in the context of whole class teaching with an interactive whiteboard, both as a starter to the lesson and also as part of the plenary. The dictionary was used on a (nearly) daily basis. It was used to introduce new terms with which the children were not familiar and also to revise and reinforce previous work."
