I don't see what could possibly be hard about the glossary used in Math ?

Prove - Show that statement a = statement b (can manipulate both sides).
Show - Like above, but you need to work with statement a
Deduce - Using previous result, find the answer
Hence - using previous result, find the answer.
otherwise - or any other method

Every school has a copy of the key terms, otherwise, how would they know how the question is supposed to be answered? I'm supposing the Board of Studies would have it somewhere on their website, it's just up to you to do a bit of searching. If you are really in need of the glossary, you could always ask the Mathematics Faculty at your school, and your teacher would also be able to tell you.
