Understanding Algebra I
Understanding Algebra I provides a one-year Algebra I course for Grades 7-9. Students who have a solid algebra background will have no trouble with the algebra problems from the SAT and even the GRE. This easy-to-use book highlights vocabulary and notation. It also contains examples from the history of math.
This unique book differs from other algebra textbooks because it builds from the experiences of an award-winning algebra teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. While a committee of authors often writes other textbooks, many of those authors have little experience teaching beginning algebra students in middle school or high school.
Understanding Algebra IÂ presents the most essential concepts and skills needed to fully understand and gain confidence in algebra in a step-by-step fashion, teaching students that algebra is generalized arithmetic.
It helps students see the connection between mathematics that they already know and algebra, so that learning algebra becomes easier and less abstract. This book provides students with real strategies to succeed in solving word problems by using charts and translating strategies that guarantee success.
