Number Power 3: Algebra: The Real World of Adult Math

I am a high school special education/alternative education teacher in Oregon, working with special needs youngsters. Contemporary's "Number Power 3: Algebra the Real World of Adult Math" by Bob Mitchell offers the teacher and students real life applications for algebra. And, as a bonus, the pages in this worksheet format booklet are laid out clearly, very clearly, and are easy for the student to negotiate. The worksheets give plenty and frequent opportunity for the student to respond. The students find the book engaging.After a teacher and students uses this workbook, I doubt they will ever return to the old-fashioned, stodgy, irrelevant, hard-bound and boring algebra text books that are so common in most public schools today.A breath of fresh air--I recommend "Number Power 3: Algebra the Real World of Adult Math" without reservation!-John Bain
