In my experience, word problems are what makes students most stuck and stumped. Their biggest problem is how to "translate" the language of word problems into the language of mathematical equations. That's why this site has a hugely popular word problem section.. My guess is that abstract thinking is just not natural for some students. This cheap and easy to read book is really good. Most algebra textbooks do not give adequate explanations and examples. How to Solve Word Problems in Algebra, 2/e offers students detailed, easy-to-follow instruction in procedures for solving word problems, with an emphasis on the mechanics of problem-solving. The book can be used independently or in conjunction with any of the standard algebra texts on either the elementary or intermediate level.. |

Builds problem-solving skills and a strong foundation for studying more advanced math topics. This book is also valuable for students who are already studying algebra but are having difficulty with the basic concepts. Hundreds of problems are fully worked-out and illustrated in the following topics: integers, fractions, decimals, ratios and proportions, percents, roots and exponents, algebraic equations, inequalities, word problems, plotting graphs, and geometry. . |

With a ``learn-by-doing'' approach, it reviews and teaches elementary and some intermediate algebra. While rigorous enough to be used as a college or high school text, the format is reader friendly, particularly in this Second Edition, and clear enough to be used for self-study in a non-classroom environment. ``Pre-test'' material enables readers to target problem areas quickly and skip areas that are already well understood. Some new material has been added to the Second Edition and redundant or confusing material omitted. The first chapter has undergone major revision. Chapters feature ``post-tests'' for self-evaluation. Thousands of practice problems, questions and answers make this algebra review a unique and practical text.. |

The reason why I like it is that it's an algebra text in the form of a fantasy novel. Not a dry textbook like most others. So if you or your child prefers fiction to dry texts, this may be the book to suggest. It uses the story's characters solving problems by using algebra. Readers discover the hows and whys of equations, negative numbers, exponents, roots and real numbers, algebraic expressions, functions, graphs, quadratic equations, polynomials, permutations and combinations, matrices and determinants, mathematical induction, and imaginary numbers. 100+ drawings & diagrams.. |

A FIVE STAR book from Amazon: Presents the fundamentals of linear algebra in the clearest possible way, examining basic ideas by means of computational examples and geometrical interpretation. This substantial revision includes greater focus on relationships between concepts, smoother transition to abstraction, early exposure to linear transformations and eigenvalues, more emphasize on visualization, new material on least squares and QR-decomposition and a greater number of proofs. Exercise sets begin with routine drill... |
