SED Posts Commencement Level Mathematics Glossary

March 2006


The Commencement Level Glossary for Teachers and Suggested Lists of Mathematical Language for Students are now available online.

The Glossary, intended for teacher use only, provides an understanding of the mathematical terms used in the Regents-approved courses entitled Integrated Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 and Trigonometry as reflected in the New York State Mathematics Core Curriculum (Revised 2005). We encourage all teachers at the commencement level to become familiar with these terms and use them consistently throughout a student's educational program.

The Suggested Lists of Mathematical Language are presented for each Regents-approved course entitled Integrated Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. These lists are intended to engage New York State educators and students in building a mathematical language. The lists contain terms that are defined in the Glossary.

The Glossary and Suggested Lists of Mathematical Language may be accessed at www.emsc.nysed.gov/3-8/glossary.htm.
