Tricky Math Terms™

Homophones can be tricky for many students, even more so when introducing new concepts in your math curriculum. Tricky Math Terms™ vocabulary cards are specially designed to help eliminate some of the most common sources of student confusion so you and your visual learners can stay on the same page during math instruction.

For instance, when you are instructing your students to round a number, what images are in their heads? Are they picturing bulbous, rounded 2s, or are they looking at the hundreds place to see if that digit is 5 or above? With Tricky Math Terms™, there won’t be a question. Students can see at a glance which definition you mean.

The face of each card has a common math term as well as a common homophone or two, such as round/round, or second/second. All of the words are fully illustrated to look just like their meanings, with the mathematical terms bordered in red, and other meanings not bordered, so finding the correct definition is fast and easy.

Each set is printed in full color on 8.5” x 11″ coated cardstock, making them durable enough for teacher-led or student-group review, and convenient to laminate or display on your word wall.

These cards are printed with pride in the USA.
