Read any Key Stage 1 definitions as well Key Stage 2 defintions
Most words for Key Stage 2 can just be put into the search box.
However, one word that does need some help is 'mean'.
Put 'arithmetic mean' into the box instead of just 'mean'.
If you have a problem
with any other words
you may like to use feedback
and I will look into it.

BE CLEAR ABOUT THESE
SUM
the answer when you add
DIFFERENCE
the answer when you subtract
PRODUCT
the answer when you multiply
KEEP A RECORD OF WORDS
After looking up a word,
you may find it helpful
to start making a list
or a little booklet
or a computer file
so that you can check
again at a later date.
BE CAREFUL WITH
THE MEANING OF WORDS
ABOUT CIRCLES
Words to do with circles
can be confusing.
It may be helpful to think of
radius, diameter, circumference
as being in order
from shortest to longest.
Circumference is only
a special word for perimeter
which we use
when we talk about circles.
Do you really understand
the meaning of a word?
Can you explain it
to somebody else?
Perhaps a friend
or a member of your family.
