Transition Mathematics

I have not much to say. But for being from New Orleans and being rescued and all and trying to get used to a new school, it was tough. Then I failed math. Even worse. But this book so far is helping me catch up.

As a former K - 8 Mathematics Supervisor in high-flying school district, I can verify the validity of this Transition program in providing you the unique opportunity of actually being prepared for secondary mathematics of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and precalculus, if you go that far. You should study this book beyond what your teacher does with it, because it is best applied as a two-year broad introductory mathematical program. If you do so, you will not be hit with a brick wall in trying to do the dreaded word problems in algebra and beyond. This book is relevant, the math is real, and it is backed with over twenty years of acutal research, instead of authors' best guesses as to what works. But it will take getting used to. If you're willing to make the effort, doors will open in your future.

For a student who is not very good at math this book was a great help. It clearly showed each formula and it also had a helpful Progress Self- Test at the end of each chapter. Leaves information at the students fingertips for easy retrival.
