Vocabulary Word Puzzles for Mathematics
"Hi, I'm Cinny Nym, Dean of Faculty at Vocabulary University.
In this feature please study the words in the story. Following the puzzles you have a mathematical Alphalary™ of 372 words. We have provided both an 18 word crossword and word find with graphic links to the answers. The grade level of each word is at the botlom of this page along with an additional 28 words.
Watch for new "MATH" puzzles and activities! Current math features are:
