Here is a link I use occasionally. The mathmatical knowledge covered by the 
dictionary is quite broad. Some of the definitions are basic, and other more 
complex for secondary level students.For more complex mathematical ideas, 
such as quadratic equations, the dictionary does give you other web sites to 
try.

Most KS3 and KS4 pupils could use this in conjunction with teacher. The 
explanations are wordy as so much maths work tends to be, but there are 
clear visual examples to help. Some of the simpler mathmatical knowledge 
could be used to help pupils at KS2.

I find it helps my mathematical knowledge too as I am a little rusty.
