This book teaches and develops the math concepts and critical thinking skills necessary for success in Algebra I and future mathematics courses at the high school level. It was written with the premise that students cannot problem-solve or take leaps of reasoning without understanding the concepts and elements that lead to discovery. The author—with 35 years of experience teaching mathematics—is a firm believer that understanding leads to confidence and confidence gives students the resolve to succeed in higher level mathematics rather than fear it. It is standards-based, but what makes it different from other pre-algebra books is that it organizes concepts in a logical fashion, stressing practice and critical thinking. It avoids the mistakes—found in many other math books—of trying to teach new concepts before students receive the prerequisite skills and practice necessary for success. The concepts are presented clearly and in connection to other concepts. Math vocabulary is very important to success in higher mathematics, so this book includes easy-to-follow explanations and a user-friendly glossary. Grades 6-8. From The Critical Thinking Company. 448, color, perforated pages. Learn More

This is 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 SAT and even the GRE.

This 384-page book highlights vocabulary and notation, and has examples from the history of math.

What makes this book unique and different from other algebra textbooks is that it is built from the experiences of an award-winning algebra teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience.

Many textbooks are written by a committee of authors, and many of those authors have little experience teaching beginning algebra students in middle school or high school.

Understanding Algebra I 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.

Recommended for grades 7 and up.
