For each math term, the authors creatively demonstrate a) a clear definition of the term in formal mathematical language, b) a “kid speak” definition, c) at least one example of the term “in action” through a linked math lesson or game, a photograph, or a video demonstration of the term being used in a math context. Readers can click on links to propel their learning forward as they build conceptual understanding, not just memorization, of math terms.
