Book Description
AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.CONTENTS: This Algebra Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers provides ample practice for developing fluency in very fundamental algebra skills - in particular, how to solve standard equations for one or more unknowns. These algebra 1 practice exercises are relevant for students of all levels - from grade 7 thru college algebra. This workbook is conveniently divided up into seven chapters so that students can focus on one algebraic method at a time. Skills include solving linear equations with a single unknown (with a separate chapter dedicated toward fractional coefficients), factoring quadratic equations, using the quadratic formula, cross multiplying, and solving systems of linear equations. Not intended to serve as a comprehensive review of algebra, this workbook is instead geared toward the most essential algebra skills. An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook. Students are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.PRACTICE: With no pictures, this workbook is geared strictly toward learning the material and developing fluency through practice.EXAMPLES: Each section begins with a few pages of instructions for how to solve the equations followed by a few examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until students are able to solve the problems independently.ANSWERS: Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.

Book Description
Sharpen your algebra skills by solving 101 "involved" algebra problems. This book includes separate sections of answers, hints, and full solutions. Prerequisites include multiplying expressions with square roots, systems of equations, the quadratic formula, the equation for a straight line, power rules, factoring, and other standard algebra techniques. A variety of problems are included, such as: systems of equations (many are nonstandard, including a quadratic term or a reciprocal, for example) simplifying expressions or solving equations that feature square roots applying algebra to derive equations variables in the denominator rules for exponents inequalities the equation for a straight line multiplying, distributing, or factoring expressions applications of algebra (such as in classic physics problems) transformations of variables exposure to techniques such as completing the square, partial fractions, or separation of variables cross multiplying ratios rationalizing the denominator and multiplying by the conjugate This book is NOT indented to "teach" algebra (though the solutions may be instructive), but is designed to offer practice with a variety of algebra skills (which most students could benefit from) for students who are familiar with the skills listed. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for solving algebra problems.

Book Description
If you want to improve your Algebra word problem-solving skills, this book is filled with what you need the most: Practice! "400 Practice Algebra Word Problems (With Help and Solutions)" will make a great standalone or supplemental practice guide for you if you're serious about developing your math word problem-solving skills or raising your grades in school. It contains 400 practice word problems that will sharpen your skills at solving problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, mixed-operations, systems of equations, mixtures, rates and time, work, and even more! It starts simple and will gradually build your skills from the ground up by presenting word problems from basic to more difficult. And in case you come upon any word problem that gives you trouble, it provides sample equations for each word problem to give you a hint or a nudge in the right direction. Solutions are also given to ensure that you will arrive at the correct answers. But that's not all. "400 Practice Algebra Word Problems (With Help and Solutions)" also contains an entire section dedicated to giving you hints, tips, and useful tricks that they don't teach you in school to help you master the hardest part about solving word problems--translating the written words into mathematical equations. And unlike other books, it won't lock you into a rigid, step-by-step solving process or force you to solve word problems in any particular way. It gives you the opportunity to practice and learn in the way that suits you best! So start practicing!

Book Description
Become fluent in these beginning algebra skills: combine like terms, factor binomials and trinomials, factor out a minus sign, distribute terms to binomials and trinomials, distribute a minus sign, multiply variables with different exponents, apply the FOIL method, the square of the sum and the difference of squares, and isolate the unknown in a simple equation. This book doesn't offer thorough coverage of every algebra skill, but provides plenty of practice with the useful skills listed above. These skills are important for building a strong foundation in algebra. Most algebra students would benefit from additional practice.
