3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for the price, but no answer key, July 7, 2009

This review is from: McDougal Littell Middle School Math: Practice Workbook (Student) Pre-Algebra (Paperback)

This book is meant to accompany a pre-algebra textbook referenced in the instructions on each page. If you buy this book, be prepared to give your student significant instruction before making assignments. In other words, this is not a math workbook for a self-directed student.

There is no answer key either, so you'll be spending a lot of time solving problems yourself.

The questions are clear and usually have enough space to complete the work right on the page.

I bought this book for a summer workbook for a soon-to-be 5th grader who is doing advanced mathematics. For the price, the workbook is good, but there are probably workbooks that are easier on parents for summer work.

Excellent workbook and I have no doubt it will help tremendously
with practice skills and really mastering the concepts.
However, there are NO answers so unless you are an A ++
math student this may not be a good book for you. I am trying to find the
teachers guide with answers because I believe this is a good book.
Algebra is my worst subject so I won't be using it with my son yet.
