What It Is: A glossary of math terms for grades six through twelve.
Who's In Charge: Textbook publisher McGraw-Hill.
Why It's Worth Checking Out: Well, goodness, I'm not the only addle-brained adult trying to help a learning-challenged older kid with math homework, am I? All those terms have ditched out of my brain since my old school days, to be replaced by song lyrics and lines of dialog from TV shows.

Pick a grade, pick an alphabet letter, and you'll find short and comprehensible explanations of those long-lost terms.
Where to Start: Select a grade.
