Grade Level Math Vocabulary:
If a term is not defined in our Glencoe mathbook series, it is probably because it is a term that was introduced at a previous grade level. We will be using vocabulary.com to practice grade level math words.
Also, here is a link if you need to look up an unknown math term that is NOT in your math book glossary. This dictionary is illustrated and interactive! http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/
