Math Vocabulary

The following link is going to be a useful tool that will help us prepare for the Math STAAR Test.   It is important we have a GREAT understanding of what these vocabulary words mean and how to use them.  Next Thursday we will be having a vocabulary test on these words, so it is VERY important you study everyday.  Make sure you use ALL the tools on the website so that you have a STRONG grasp on the words you are studying and their meaning.  There are a couple of games that will help you learn the definitions  but I recommend you study before you play because they are challenging!  Don't Forget, Have Fun Learning!!
