Pre-Algebra: An Integrated Technology Transition to Algebra and Geometry Student Edition

My son is in the 6th grade but he is studying 8th grade Mathematics. This book is used as a text book in his school (Rocky Hill Middle School, Clarksburg, Maryland). This is an excellent book for the 8th grade Math.

I had to prepare for some college placement exaims and needed a refresher course. This book was a trememdous help to me!

My rating for this textbook is five stars because this textbook has sections in which show how mathematics can be applied to modern-day jobs, and have easy-to-understand examples of the featured lesson. This textbook also have selected answers in which may help the student to understand the featured problem a little-bit better. This textbook is not always good---there are some things which might confuse the student, in which it confused me. The example on how to figure out arithmetic sequences have confused me for quite a while until I realized that was my method of figuring it out! I recommend some study guides to go with this textbook.

This is a really good book because it shows you algrebra in a slow and easy way, kind of like adding and subtracting, but harder. I would recomend this book for anybody who thinks that pre-algrebra is hard.

We're using this book and the algebra and trig books in our homeschool. I like this series better than any math book we've used. The explanations are clear and there are excellent projects in the back of the book. It does seem to skip steps occassionally, but it's nothing serious. There are good test-taking skills taught, connections to algebra and geometry, critical thinking and writing opportunities. The books are very thorough.
