Algebra Survival Kit - A Conversational Guide for the Thoroughly Befuddled (Paperback, illustrated edition)

If you thought algebra had to be boring, confusing, and unrelated to anything in the real world, think again! Written in a humorous, conversational style, this handbook gently nudges students toward success in understanding Algebra 1. With its simple-to-follow flash-card format and user-friendly section dividers, practice problems, glossary, and index, it is ideal for homeschoolers, tutors, and students striving for classroom excellence. It features funky icons and lively cartoons by award-winning Santa Fe artist Sally Blakemore, a wraparound cover that closes the book with a string tie, and an "Algebra Wilderness" board game guaranteed to help students steer clear of "Negativeland" -- and have fun.

This study aid meets the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
