Been using this textbook for a few months now to review algebra from the perspective of an educated professional. The lessons are pretty good but there is one big problem; only a small sample of answers are provided for the practice problems and no answers are provided for the chapter tests. Learning math requires working practice problems and I do not understand how one is supposed to learn if he/she cannot check the answers to practice problems and assessments. Answers are provided for the chapter review bt in my experience this is not enough.I had considered giving this book 2 stars but I haven't been able to find a textbook that does a better job so I'm giving it 3 stars.
I have not worked all the way through this book with my child yet. But after flipping through it to check out concepts that my college Algebra text flubbed, I can tell you this book does a pretty good job of explaining things like multiplying matrices. I bought this book after seeing it was one recommended by Prof. Sellers of PSU, who did the new Algebra I course for The Teaching Company Great Courses series. We're using the two together and think it's a good combo.
I bought this textbook for my daughter who is taking Algebra 1. It is an excellent textbook with clear examples and plenty of practice problems. The best part is that I bought it used, but in great condition and for an excellent price. I would recommend it to any student taking this class.
I need it for my son replacement bool of algebra, but I really found this book very good explain, even contains short videos that can be found in the book web side, this short videos are very helpful to understand better the lesson from each day
Clearly written. Most of the definitions are clear; some need just a phrase or two to complete for understanding the concepts. For families or tutors (as I am) a copy at home, this text will be useful, not just for Algebra 1, but through elementary school as concepts are introduced and through high school math courses for review of definitions of vocabulary which teachers assume students know.
Really like this algebra book. My son struggled with common core algebra, so I bought this to teach him algebra the way I learned it. There are many problems to do at the end of each lesson, including a standardized test prep section.
This is good in that it seems easy to follow, and it has lots of online lessons for more help. It doesnot seem too difficult, we ended up using Life of Fred though, since my daughter knows most of this and she can move quicker thru the other series.
We use this text in homeschooling our son. The organization, explanations and examples are all good. However, many, if not most textbooks purchased new these days come with a cd with an e-text and additional help/features. Unfortunately, we were little disappointed to find this text did not.
