2. Harcourt Math Glossary - www.harcourtschool.com/glossary/math2/

I can't use this resource enough. This math glossary has every key word and component in elementary math standards illustrated and animated. This is a great tool for EL Learners because of the audio feature that pronounces each term so that students can hear and repeat.
