Unlocking the Mysteries: Math Terms for Secondary School Middle High School

Mathematics is a universal language that forms the foundation of numerous academic disciplines and professions. It is crucial for students to not only understand math concepts, but also to be familiar with the relevant terminology. In this article, we will explore a comprehensive list of math terms commonly encountered in secondary schools and middle high schools. Equipped with this knowledge, students can confidently navigate the challenges of their math courses.

1. Addition

One of the basic arithmetic operations, addition involves combining two or more numbers to find their total sum.

2. Subtraction

This operation is the reverse of addition, where a number is subtracted from another to find the difference between them.

3. Multiplication

Multiplication refers to the process of repeated addition. It involves multiplying two or more numbers to obtain their product.

4. Division

The inverse operation of multiplication, division involves splitting a number into equal parts or groups.

5. Fractions

Fractions represent a part of a whole or a ratio of two numbers. They consist of a numerator (the top number) and a denominator (the bottom number).

6. Decimals

Decimals are a way to represent numbers that fall between two whole numbers. They consist of a decimal point and digits to the right of it.

7. Percentages

Percentages represent a part or a fraction of 100. They are often used to express ratios or proportions.

8. Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with symbols, variables, and equations, enabling us to solve problems by manipulating these elements.

9. Geometry

Geometry involves the study of shapes, sizes, and properties of figures in both two and three dimensions.

10. Trigonometry

Trigonometry focuses on the relationships between angles and sides of triangles. It finds application in various fields, including engineering and physics.

11. Probability

Probability deals with the likelihood of an event occurring. It helps us quantify uncertain situations and make informed decisions.

12. Statistics

Statistics involves collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. It aids in understanding patterns and drawing meaningful s.

13. Exponents

Exponents are used to express repeated multiplication. They consist of a base number raised to a certain power.

14. Equations

Equations involve stating that two expressions are equal. They help us find unknown values using a combination of operations.

15. Word Problems

Word problems provide real-world scenarios that require the application of mathematical concepts to solve. They enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Mathematics forms an integral part of our lives, and getting well-versed in math terms allows students to embark on a fruitful journey in their academic and professional pursuits. By understanding the definitions and visual representations of these math concepts, students will be well-equipped to tackle complex problems and connect various mathematical ideas. Practicing these terms will help solidify their understanding and boost their overall performance in math-related subjects.

*From the book

In a limited environment, with a limited method of teaching, increasing children’s ability to concentrate on math is key.

1. Let them sleep well. Simply let them take a nap during break time and concentrate on the class later.

2. Quality rather than quantity! There is no chance of bettering the math skills of children in class when they have sleepy brains.

3. Prevention of severe exercise before sleeping! Do not let them watch movies or soap operas before sleeping!

4. No computer games, phone usage in the two hours before bed time

5. The common computer shall be moved to the living room. Downgrade to a 2G phone. I would like to write a book on the subject of whether a smart-phone is really necessary for children. A 2G phone is enough.

6. Dress code is also important! When children study in sleeping clothes, the sleep will come to them. A little bit uncomfortable or even tight clothes will be better.

7.Hang a white board in the children's room or study room. They will write one English word or one mathematical formula on the board, in order to memorize.

8.Can you buy a standing desk? Standing while studying can help children concentrate. At the same time, leg strength can be increased, and belly fat will be reduced.*

*Strengths of this book

When Korean students want to have a good score at SAT test, IB or IGSCE math test, they would better study math terminology in Korean and English simultaneously. This book also can be applicable to the students who want to participate in math competitions globally.
