There are certain mistakes that students frequently make while learning algebra. This workbook clearly explains these mistakes so students can avoid them. Examples then illustrate the correct way of working an algebra problem, and practice problems are provided. Puzzles and games based on scientific formulas and interesting facts challenge students to think creatively. Self-checking exercises motivate students to finish each page while acquiring valuable algebraic skills.

"Julie Miller, Molly O'Neill, and Nancy Hyde originally wrote their developmental math series because students were entering their College Algebra course underprepared. The students were not mathematically mature enough to understand the concepts of math, nor were they fully engaged with the material. The authors began their developmental mathematics offerings with intermediate algebra to help bridge that gap. This in turn developed into several series of textbooks from Prealgebra through Precalculus to help students at all levels before Calculus"--

Basic math skills to prepare them for algebra. Her fun methods and concrete examples will help younger students begin to grasp the principles of algebra before they actually have to deal with the complete course. Included are easy-to-understand explanations and instructions, wall charts, games, activity pages and worksheets. As in all her Math Phonics™ books, the author emphasizes three important principles: understanding, learning and mastery. Students will learn about integers, exponents and scientific notation, expressions, graphing, slope, binomials and trinomials. In addition to helpful math rules and facts, a complete answer key is provided. As students enjoy the quick tips and alternative techniques for math mastery, teachers will appreciate the easy-going approach to a difficult subject.

This workbook provides practice in working with fractional numbers and mixed numbers. Emphasis is placed upon addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Practice is also provided in renaming proper and improper fractions. The exercises correlate with the material on fractional numbers presented in basic middle grade mathematics texts. The pages are presented in a suggested order, but may be used in any order which best meets the child's needs. Parents who wish their children to have practice in mathematics skills will find the book as helpful as classroom teachers will find it. The exercises are presented so that a child can work with a minimum of supervision. Answers are included in a four-page leaflet in the middle of the book, which can be easily removed.

The material in this book will provide sound practice in basic mathematical operations. Emphasis is placed on determining operations, working with graphs, money, time, averaging, measurement, volume, and percents. This workbook is designed to provide practice for the student and is compatible with classroom instruction. The pages are presented in a suggested order, but may be used in any order which best meets a child's needs. Parents who wish their children to have practice in word problems will find the book as helpful as classroom teachers will find it. The exercises are presented so that a child can work with a minimum of supervision. Answers are included in a four-page leaflet in the middle of the book. This leaflet can be easily removed.

Become fluent in these beginning algebra skills: combine like terms, factor binomials and trinomials, factor out a minus sign, distribute terms to binomials and trinomials, distribute a minus sign, multiply variables with different exponents, apply the FOIL method, the square of the sum and the difference of squares, and isolate the unknown in a simple equation. This book doesn't offer thorough coverage of every algebra skill, but provides plenty of practice with the useful skills listed above. These skills are important for building a strong foundation in algebra. Most algebra students would benefit from additional practice.
