A Math's Dictionary for Kids

A Maths Dictionary for Kids is an animated, interactive online math dictionary for students which explains over 600 common mathematical terms and math words in simple language. This is a great site for students to use prior to starting a new unit or area of study in math.  Users not only get a definition of math terms, but can interact and practice with examples.  I looked up the word symmetry. I was shown a definition and some examples using various letters from the alphabet.  For practice, I was to drag various letters into the appropriate box. Letters like A, O, I, and M were to go to the symmetrical box. Letters like G, Q, and P were to go to the not symmetrical box. I really liked that students get more than a definition. They SEE and example and INTERACT with a practice set.
