I don't know much about math and arithmetic, but this is a book review about science.

 

The book is searchable in both Japanese and English. The Japanese is also written in hiragana, so it is easy to use for bilinguals and students whose first language is not Japanese.

The book also includes illustrations at the end of the book so that students can read the terms with illustrations.

The book contains a mixture of words learned in elementary school and junior high school, so it may take some time to reach the desired term. (If you are attending a local school, this format may be more convenient for you since the educational process is different from that of Japan.)

(If you are attending a local school, it may be more convenient to use this format because the Japanese curriculum is different from the local school's curriculum. (食塩水 is translated as "saline solution", but "salt water" is sufficient for junior high school students.)

I hope that the terminology will be added/updated. (I definitely want a fuel cell!) 

 

Overall, the book is well written.

I didn't use the translations as is for teaching materials, but I used it in place of google translate when I wanted to explain to my English-speaking teachers.
