Brainard Braimah (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 14, 2007

These definitions are essential to the study of Mathematics at the target age range. The book provides clear and simple definitions supported by examples and diagrams. Nearly 1000 mathematical terms are defined. The book is a reference for pupils, parents and mathematics teachers who are not mathematics specialists. The publication is an important resource for classroom practitioners for Mathematics. It is intended for teachers to explain clearly most of the Mathematical concepts learners will encounter. This has been done, with the needs of teachers and learners in mind, in a simple way and with examples to illustrate and enhance the meaning and application of key concepts. It is a must have publication. A great resource in the classroom, library and home. The Author has used his extensive experience to highlight the need for such a publication and has undertaken a remarkable task in producing this for practitioners in the classroom. Mr. Braimah is a village boy from Ghana who does not even know his correct age. An experienced Mathematics teacher, founder of after-school classes now in their 19th year, and possessor of an MBE, he is echoing the government's concern about the paucity of black role models for teenagers teetering on the edge of disillusion. "It's not just individual role models either," he said. Brainard Braimah, who has established and maintained a number of charities to improve employment and prospects for young people, won the Lifetime Difference Award in 2005. I am or have been a member of the following committees: CHEL, Education 2000 (Learning Partnership) Leeds West Indian Carnival, Leeds West Indian Centre and F1 Business Support. Trustee for Wade Charity, Regional Committee Member for Children in Need, Regional panel member for NCH - Action for Children (Family Finders) and a School Governor.

This review is from: Definitions of Some Mathematical Terms for 11-18 Year Olds (Paperback)

This book is an invaluable math reference tool for the home, classroom, or home school. I was pleased to use it extensively in my own home school and it has proven its worth many times over. It contains an exhaustive number of mathematical definitions that are extremely helpful with the math in the middle school through high school grade range. The definitions are illustrated beautifully with clear examples which help to further explain their meaning. This is an excellent resource for older children who need help wading through the confusion of mathematical language and terminology.
