Jenny Eather’s A Maths Dictionary
A Maths Dictionary for Kids provides simple and clear definitions of math terms. Each definition includes a small diagram or simple activity to illustrate the term’s definition. A Maths Dictionary for Kids does not have a search option, but it doesn’t need one as all definitions appear alphabetically just like in a physical dictionary. Click here

Need Math Help? Try Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is an interesting search engine because of the unique tasks it can perform. In my limited use of Wolfram Alpha I have found that it really shines when you’re searching for demographic data sets. Yesterday, I discovered that Wolfram Alpha has a function that will walk you through the steps of solving an equation. To use this function, enter your equation then click the “show steps” link that appears in the solution box. You can read more about this function on the Wolfram Alpha blog. Click Here
