Mathematics as a Second Language Terms Handbook

Our Spanish/English mathematics terms handbook was developed with bilingual students testing needs in mind. Our glossary lists mathematical terms in English and Spanish for grades 5 - 16. Because these terms are translated “word by word” with no definitions, explanations or diagrams, our handbooks are valid for student use during standardized tests.

The terms are in alphabetical order by the English word. A separate cross-reference of Spanish words appears in the Index beginning on page 12. The terms used range from those appearing in the elementary school mathematics curriculum to the secondary school mathematics curriculum.

College Algebra: Modeling Our World CD-Rom

This College Algebra text is a different kind of math book than you may have used, for a different kind of math course than you may have taken. In addition to presenting mathematics for you to learn, we have tried to present mathematics for you to use. We have attempted in this text to demonstrate mathematical concepts in the context of how they are actually used day to day. The word "modeling" is the key. Real problems do not come at the end of chapters in a math book. Real problems don't look like math problems. Real problems ask questions such as: How do we create computer animations? Where should we locate a fire station? How do we effectively control an animal population? Real problems are messy.  Learn More


Casting Your Ballots: Elections (DVD/CD-ROM Package)

The power to elect officials is the power to change the world , but the mathematics of voting extends far beyond the notion of majority-rule. This election year, use COMAP materials to explore this fascinating process with your students. The candidate with the most votes wins an election. Simple, right? Wrong. The whole story has as much to do with voting methods as voting numbers. Casting Your Ballots: Elections is a new multi-media tool from COMAP that allows students to make connections to current events. Both CD-ROM and DVD components contain materials that help students address complex questions that are a very real part of our political system.  Learn More
