Algebra Lab: Math Glossary

Details

Activity Description

This glossary list is part of Algebra Lab, which is an online learning environment that focuses on the high school math topics and math skills called upon in introductory physics and chemistry courses. There is some audio support.

Preparation

1. Familiarize yourself with the Web site.
2. Print Example Document (above) for each student.

How-To

1. Use as a resource in math or science discussions.
2. Assign students a vocabulary activity to introduce this resource site to them. The Example Document has students look up six words, write the definition, and add sentences. They are followed by spaces for six words they would like to learn, look up, and write sentences for.
3. A good follow up activity is for students then to share their words with the class.
