Elementary Algebra/Im (T-Guide: Origin & Evolution

I got this book to give me lesson ideas for working with strugglers. Each lesson in the student textbook has a corresponding lesson in this teachers' guide, and the lessons are very specific and sometimes all but scripted. It's a great source of ideas and alternatives for explaining new concepts.

I teach Algebra, and Jacobs's teacher's guide is my favorite, most frequently used resource. The guide gives the teacher a number of puzzles, tricks, visuals, jokes, etc. to introduce and reinforce concepts. It's explanations are right on target. It is written to be used in conjunction with the student text, but it could be used by itself for supplemental material for any curriculum. I think it's a shame that this valuable book is out of print. I give it a 5 star rating.
