Algebra I Workbook For Dummies

Title: Fantastic Resource for Mental Acuity and Learning Algebra at Any Age! I purchased Algebra I Workbook For Dummies to keep my mind sharp, and I couldn’t be more pleased! As an older adult, I know how important it is to engage in activities that challenge the brain, and this workbook does just that. The explanations are clear, concise, and easy to follow—even for those who haven’t touched algebra in decades. The step-by-step approach makes solving problems feel rewarding rather than frustrating. I especially appreciate the practice exercises, which reinforce concepts in a way that builds confidence. There’s no pressure, just steady progress at your own pace. One of the best aspects of this book is how it keeps the mind active. Studies show that mental exercises like math help maintain cognitive function, and I can already tell that working through these problems has improved my focus and problem-solving skills. It’s like a workout for the brain! Whether you’re an older learner looking to stay sharp or someone brushing up on algebra for personal or professional reasons, this workbook is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I was a 6th grade math teacher. I moved up to the high school to teach Algebra 1 at age 57. It had been years since I’d done high school math. I found this workbook very helpful. It has good notes and examples. I bought it because there were practice problems in the book with a key. I worked the entire book over the summer break. I highly recommend this book. I also bought the Algebra 2 and geometry workbooks.

This book is good for review , if you already took Algebra I in the past. It is not good as a first textook, due to the fact it skips some very basic topics you would encounter in any high school Algebra I class. These topics include set operations and Venn diagrams; the major number sets and subsets; basic definitions, axioms and theorems of algebra that are used as the foundation to build the system of algebra. Certainly worth the low cost.

My 14 year old daughter is a beautiful little nerd. She loves math and as a father daughter hobby, for the past month, since we've had this book, we spend time either at coffee shops or the meeting rooms at my office doing math together. We're through about 140 pages of the book now and I look forward to every single moment I spend together with my little girl solving problem by problem. To be honest, we don't really read much of the text, we simply use the problems and examples. The examples are so well written that we often don't need to do anything more to learn a new topic. The rate of progression is absolutely perfect. In the rare cases where we can't solve a problem because we're just not smart enough, we can peek at the answer which generally does a great job providing step by step detail. When that fails, we use Wolfram Alpha. When that fails, we knock on the door of a physcist baring a free dinner for him. I have purchased Algebra I for Dummies Workbook, Algebra II for Dummies Workbook and Geometry for Dummies Workbook. I have already decided that Trigonometry for Dummies Workbook, Precalc for Dummies Workbook and Calculus for Dummies Workbook will be in our next shipment. I expect that we'll finish this book in a few weeks. I don't think we'll need more than a few weeks for the Geometry for Dummies Workbook. Algebra II is a little intimidating, but we can't wait to eventually get to matrices. Whatever Mary Jane Sterling is being paid, it's not enough. This series is an absolute work of art. P.S. - Warning... I am a software developer/computer scientist. I am relearning what I forgot. If you are buying these books to help your kids, I recommend also getting a good text book with more thorough explainations of topics. I also recommend buying the full Wolfram Alpha app for your phone and learning how to use it.

I just received the workbook, I’m go to start working on it today. I like that I come with sample so that you can have an idea on what to do.

I got this to start homeschooling my freshmen and it’s been a long time since I’ve done algebra. This was hard for me to figure out and be able to teach him. Might be a good choice for some but it was not for me (or him).

This book is awesome!! My son got a 60% in algebra this past school year so I ordered this book for him to do over the summer. It is so clear and gives great examples on how to do the problems. He also goes to Kahn acacemy online for free extra help. Between this book and Kahn he is going to be prepared for Algebra 2. This worked better for him than sitting in class for a whole school year. There's zero classroom management in schools these days. Will be using this book and homeschooling this coming year.

I have been out of school for years and have been going through this book as a refresher. It's well written, and I thoroughly enjoy it!
