From “acute triangle” to “zero exponent,” the math glossary contains more
than 700 mathematical vocabulary terms commonly used in grade 6 through
Algebra 2. Users can select from among 12 languages — Arabic, Bengal,
Chinese, English, Haitian, Hmong, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu and
Vietnamese. If a language other than English is chosen, users will see the
English term along with the word and its definition in the selected language.
Many terms include diagrams that illustrate the term with labels in the
appropriate language.

The glossary provides a number of benefits to students, teachers and
parents:

* Students — The tool is free, easy-to-use, and available 24/7 for those
looking to better understand mathematical terms and their definitions.

* Teachers — To communicate with students speaking many languages within
the same classroom, teachers can find help in one place. There is no
need to maintain a variety of print resources.

* Parents — Parents are better able to help their children with math
homework even if they do not read English. The tool is available to
anyone with Internet access.
