The Essential Algebra for Advanced High School and SAT is a 241-page math book in the Mathematical Reasoning series and is an ‘essential’ resource for building the foundation of ongoing excellence in mathematics. This book offers an in-depth approach to teaching math skills focusing on important algebraic concepts that are vital to a student’s success in advanced high school mathematics. This book is broken down into ten algebraic concepts:

• Understanding Terms and Order of Operations
• Understanding the Family of Real Numbers
• Rationals and Irrationals
• Working with Terms and Polynomials
• Polynomial Division, Factoring, and Rational Expressions
• Solving Equations and Inequalities
• Ratio, Proportion, and Percent
• How Algebra is Used in Geometry
• Understanding Functions
• Working With Quadratic Equations and Functions

Algebra is essentially the language of all advanced mathematics courses. It is generalized arithmetic, so the rules that apply when we are working with number and fraction operations—including the knowledge of factors and multiples—also apply when we are working with algebra.

Without this knowledge and these skills, students often struggle or even fail in advanced mathematics courses. Imagine a good high school student who sees a problem like 3•x•y•4 and hesitates to write 12xy because he or she is unsure of the rules that govern multiplication. Or they don't understand how to add 2x to 1/4y to combine it into one entire fraction. Or why –62 is different than (–6)2. It is easy to see that not having a strong understanding of the foundational rules of algebra can stop even the smartest students from succeeding in advanced high school math courses.

The lessons within this book teach fundamental arithmetic principles that govern algebra so that students can apply them, as needed, in advanced mathematical courses and in life. The book begins with the definition of a "term" and the facts of when you can cancel and when you cannot. It discusses the importance of factors and multiples and integer rules. It teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions – not by doing the problems up and down like they are mostly done in elementary school, but by doing them sideways just like they are done later in algebra and in higher-level math. This helps make everything so much easier down the road!

The explanations are clear and followed with basic step-by-step procedures to show students how to master and apply those fraction concepts, negative number operations, exponent rules, work with square roots, and doing real life percent problems with charts and tables, just like those on the SATs. Concepts are purposefully repeated in different settings, so students will keep re-applying what they learn throughout the book. The language is friendly to put students at ease and increase their confidence while learning concepts that are often confusing.

This book reviews the necessary reading strategies needed to translate word problems, but it is not the primary focus of the book. The book Understanding Algegra I  (also part of the Mathematical Reasoning series) devotes large sections to many types of word problems and many useful strategies if deeper study of this topic is desired.

In the last two chapters of the book, students are asked to apply the algebra they have just learned to an overview of problems in geometry. Also included is review of some important techniques that students frequently struggle with involving both linear and quadratic equations.

This book also includes an appendix of topics used as a review, but also includes new information that can be considered enrichment for students who may want to learn more. Teaching support and answers are also included.

Handwriting practice and Latin practice are combined in this copybook. While improving handwriting, students memorize classroom Latin (e.g. “Hello, teacher”), Latin sayings, and beautiful prayers and hymns from Latina Christiana, First Form Latin, and Lingua Angelica.

Latin Cursive Copybook starts with an introduction to forming letters followed by classroom Latin, sayings, and hymns from Latina Christiana, First Form Latin, and Lingua Angelica. Our copybooks are three-in-one wonders that include memory work, copybook exercises, and drawing pages. They teach penmanship, timeless Latin passages, accuracy, attention to detail, and memorization—all through the simple skill of copying. Why have students practice their handwriting on word lists when they can learn beautiful Latin hymns and prayers that will stay with them for their entire lives? Memoria Press’ cursive font is based on the New American Cursive handwriting program. New American Cursive is specifically designed with beautiful yet simple curves for introducing young students to cursive.

The Second Form Latin Flashcards cover the vocabulary (Latin, lesson number, and any derivative, on one side; English on the other), Latin sayings (Latin and lesson number on one side, English on the other), and grammar forms (cue word and declension or tense name on one side; Latin forms and lesson number on the other).

Challenging Word Problems is a great source of challenging material for advanced math students. It may also be used for students of mixed abilities with more guidance. Although originally written to complement Primary Mathematics, it can go with any math curriculum as long as students have the necessary computation skills. The material allows students to practice explaining their reasoning and demonstrate problem-solving strategies, including using manipulatives. Select problems for a daily challenge or for discussion, or allow competent students to attempt the problems independently. Solutions are provided at the back, however, a specific strategy is not required, and alternate methods are quite possible to arrive at the answer.
