I used this book a last year in a statewide high speed college prep course (UMTYMP). The course covered two years of high school math in one year. Though the speed could have possibly taken away some of this books full potential it was still worth 5 stars. It begins with an inviting letter to students and a preview of algebra, covering all the Pre-Algebra basics, and ended with beginning Algebra II problems like Direct and Inverse Variation. It also includes "Historical Snapshots" and "Puzzles and Challenges". Each chapter contains a Chapter Summary, Review Problems, and a Chapter Test. An attractive cover and great pictures make this a great buy, and in my opinion, well worth the money.

I've used about three other math algebra text books in the past. This one has been the winner. It discribes a kind of mathamatic, and then gives review problems to work out, and then it has a chapter test I find it really great. I think that it should be used in other schools.

it showes you how to do some problems but not all the ones you see in the chapters

I am in eighth grade and I just completed this book in school. I took a 2 year Alg. 1 course (7th-8th) and I think that this book was ok. It has extremely good real life examples, but usually the way they explain things makes really simple and easy things seem hard. I recommend it, but not enthusiastically.
