Mathematics Key Terms

Every word a maths department teaches, Year 7 to A Level, in one A4 book. Each key stage gets its own pages: the terms grouped the way they are taught rather than alphabetically, a definition that fits on two lines, and a worked example beside almost every one. Each key stage opens on one real equation or identity, annotated — the notation a maths course is actually written in — and the numbers on it appear again beside the same words in the list; a dozen further pages carry a real drawing where a sentence will not do, for the bands a picture genuinely teaches faster: a gradient, a circle theorem, a trigonometric ratio, a box plot, a tangent and normal, a resultant force. Then a page on using the words: the ones the assessment itself is written in, the false friends that mean something else in a maths classroom — a limit is not a maximum allowance, a series is not a sequence, discrete is not discreet — the same point written weakly and then properly, and what each word becomes at the next key stage.

Get the clean copy

You have seen the whole layout of all 15 sheets, with part of each blurred in the preview. What you buy is the same set without the watermark or the blur, at full print resolution, ready to run off for every class in the department.

  • Every sheet with no watermark, at print resolution
  • 5 print-and-use templates
  • Referenced to the DfE's national curriculum programmes of study for mathematics at Key Stage 3 and its non-statutory framework, the Mathematics GCSE subject content and assessment objectives (June 2013), and the Mathematics AS and A level content (December 2014), with Ofqual's GCE subject level conditions and requirements for mathematics; 359 of 387 terms appear by name in one of those documents and the cover says so, the rest are standard mathematical vocabulary defined here in plain English; no awarding body is named, and nothing a board decides for itself appears in the A Level pages
  • Instant PDF download, yours to keep and reproduce across the school that buys it — not for other schools
