Here's an overview of the ready-to-use lists you'll find in each section: I. NUMBERS: THEORY AND OPERATIONS presents 40 lists including classification of real numbers, types of fractions, types of decimals, rules for various operations, big numbers, and mathematical signs and symbols. II. MEASUREMENT contains over 30 lists including, things that measure, measurement abbreviations, the English and Metric Systems, and U.S. money¾coins and bills. III. GEOMETRY offers more than 50 lists covering topics such as lines and planes, types of polygons, types of quadrilaterals, circles, Pythagorean triples, and formulas for finding area and volume. IV. ALGEBRA gives you over 40 lists including how to express operations algebraically, powers and roots, common factoring formulas, quadratic functions, and types of matrices. V. TRIGONOMETRY AND CALCULUS provides more than 30 lists including the quadrant signs of the functions, reduction formulas, integration rules, and natural logarithmic functions. VI. MATH IN OTHER AREAS offers more than 30 lists that tie math to other content areas, such as descriptive statistics, probability and odds, numbers in popular sports, and some mathematical facts about space. VII. POTPOURRI features 16 lists that explore the various aspects of math including, famous mathematicians through history, world firsts, math and superstition, and the Greek alphabet. VIII. SPECIAL REFERENCE LISTS FOR STUDENTS provides 10 lists of interest to students such as overcoming math anxiety, steps for solving word problems, and math web sites for students. IX. LISTS FOR TEACHERS’ REFERENCE contains 25 lists such as how to manage a cooperative math class, sources of problems-of-the-day, how to have a parents’ math night, and math web sites for teachers. X. REPRODUCIBLE TECHING AIDS contains an assortment of helpful reproducibles including number lines, fraction strips, algebra tiles, and various nets for making 3-D geometric shapes. Review: Great Resource! - I used this book when I taught various levels of math. A young relative of mine had the disadvantage of partial virtual classes and was not prepared as well as she should have been for college, this year, especially in math. I signed her up to independently work through KahnAcademy.org as it is an excellent resource for independent learning. I bought her this book to take with her to college as the list format is easy to understand and assist in relearning and new learning of material. I highly recommend this book as a resource for all students, grades 5 and up. Review: WOW!!! Must have for first year teachers and beyond. - I wasn't sure exactly how I would use this book since it is my first year teaching. The resources compiled in this book are so simple that any student can follow along. There are teacher only lists that deal with things like struggling students, students who hate math, student who just like to be a pain in the butt, etc. The back of the book also contains some cool hands on projects that can be used. Geometry nets, tangram cutouts, blank checks for a financial unit, graph paper that you can copy or scan to use in the classroom. The book goes from pre-algebra to calculus. Besides all the problems, definitions, and explanations, the book has specific strategies to help students with all types of learning styles get a grasp of the material. Testing strategies are also in one of the "lists". Don't let the word list fool you this book is soooo much more!!! Buy it you won't be disappointed.

I bought this for class. It is surprisingly nice. It explains different math things in a very easy to understand matter. I didn't use it much in class, but it's one of the few books I decided to keep rather than sell at the end of the semester. Very useful.

This is the best math resource I have ever purchased
I teach pre-algebra to students who are far below level. My kids have made good gains year after year with hands-on methods and with study guides I have made for them throughout the year. I have created so many materials which are like "cheat" sheets of quick reference guides for topics. My students use their reference sheets or study guides and eventually do not need to refer to the study guides. As you can imagine, making study guides with essential information is very time consuming. For example, there is a page in the book just for triangle terms with a visual and explanations for triangle, side, vertex, area, angle bisector.... another page has the common forms of linear equations--standard, vertical line, horizontal line, slope-intercept, etc. My two daughters who are in high school were already glancing through the book because of the reference pages for Calculus. This book is a wonderful reference for intermediate grades (4-6) all the way through Calculus. I wish I had found this book years ago. It would have saved me a lot of time!

Amazing Resource for Math Teachers
This is an amazing book for math teachers. It is divided up by subject (i.e. Algebra, Calculus), and then lists formulas or equations for them. It's not a work book, so don't think that that is what you're getting. Instead, it is a resource book that you can use to share with students or to brush up on your knowledge of math. I highly recommend this if you're a math teacher or want a good reference book for math.

Best Math Reference!
I have been using this book to reference any area of math you could possibly want to learn more about. I have currently used it while tutoring a 7th grade student and the book provides excellent examples and explanations of various algebra related topics. The book includes any area of math you with to reference. The only drawback is that there is no index, so you have to search for topics in the table of contents.

A Math Teacher's Must
I use my copy of The Math Teacher's Book of Lists frequently. It's full of great reproduceable templates, and info pages such as lists of primes, perect numbers, square numbers, triangular numbers, etc. It's also a great reference to refresh your own memory on topics that have gotten rusty. I purchase a copy for each new math teacher I mentor. It makes a great gift. Every year I get my copy of The Math Teacher's Book of Lists off the shelf and page through it. Each time I do this, I find several pages that I can use to make my job easier or to explain a concept more clearly to the kids.
