LEARNING AND APPLYING ALGEBRA
Applied Math Series (from Garlic Press): These show students in the upper grades how various mathematics disciplines can be used to solve everyday problems. Titles are listed below. 8.96-D each. Applying Algebra: Helps students
apply algebra to daily activities. Answers included.
The book helps students use graphs to solve problems set in real-world contexts; to link different representations in order to move easily between tables of values, algebraic expressions, and graphs; to develop understanding of different types of functions and their properties; to learn concepts and skills needed for graphing on a calculator or a computer; and to explore transformations of functions. This book grew out of a research project
conducted at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Graphic Algebra
was designed to be used in a variety of ways to supplement and complement the teaching of
algebra. Some problems can be used to introduce new ideas; others offer a novel way to
review familiar ideas in a new context. The book is a perfect supplement for any
curriculum involving algebra. The materials assume that students have a basic familiarity
with algebraic notation and the Cartesian plane. Other prerequisite knowledge is noted for
each chapter. Teachers can select short or long sequences of work designed for students at
various levels. The book contains reproducible blackline masters, as well as teaching
suggestions for using graphing calculators in algebra, extensive teacher notes, and
appendices with specific instructions for the Texas Instruments TI-82 and TI-83,
Hewlett-Packard Painless Algebra, by Lynette long. Published by Barron's. This book guides the apprehensive student painlessly through the steps of working out algebra problems. It begins with integers, progresses to simple equations with one variable, and then leads into a clear explanation of inequalities, systems of equations, exponents, and roots and radicals. When all this is understood, the student graduates to the mastery of quadratic equations. All along the way are fun-to-solve "brain tickler" problems (answers provided). This book will help middle and high school students who are having trouble in their algebra courses. Cat.#BAR-06767. $8.06-D Saxon Algebra ½ Homeschool Kit: This includes the student textbook, a tests booklet, and an answer key booklet. this course covers all the topics normally taught in prealgebra, and also some topics from geometry and discrete mathematics. It represents the culmination of the study of prealgebra mathematics from review of arithmetic operations to evaluation and simplification of algebraic expressions, word problems involving algebraic concepts, and classification of geometric figures and solids. 3rd Edition. 137 lessons. Saxon-499X. $60.50-D Saxon Algebra I Homeschool Kit: This kit contains everything you need to teach first year algebra at home -- a textbook, an answer key for homework, and tests with answers. This course includes five instructional components: introduction of the new increment, examples with complete solutions, practice of the increment, daily problem sets, and cumulative assessments. This course covers all topics normally introduced in first year algebra. these topics range from algebra-based real-world problems to functions and graphics -- from algebraic proofs to statistics and probability. 3rd edition. 120 lessons. Saxon-1230. $61.50-D Saxon Algebra 1 Solutions Manual:
this contains step-by-step solutions to the problem sets in Algebra 1. Straight Forward Series, Math Large Editions: by Garlic Press. This series presents the basic facts of the subjects covered in each book. There is an assessment test at the beginning of each book. This helps you determine what your student needs to learn. Then there is instruction (about one-half page per lesson on the average) in a basic concept or skill. This is followed by exercises which allow the student to practice the skill taught. At the end of the book is a final test to see if the students have mastered the skills. These books are reproducible. $8.96 each Algebra Book 1 Working With Numbers: Algebra, by
James Shea. Steck-Vaughn. For Middle School, Junior High, and High School levels. Pretests
and Mastery Tests help place and access students. 208 pages, grades 8-12. Cat. #SV-52220 /

We're in the Pacific Time Zone We prefer you ask your questions about products
and availability by
e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and
keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in
your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer
unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a
book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually
have to call you back or email you anyway. We do check our e-mail frequently
throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a
message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number
clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email
us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time
