from Terri:

Did you barely survive algebra? Did you find it confusing and unrelated to anything in your world? Or have you made your class selections for the upcoming school year and Algebra is in your future? Or are you like me and just got lost in the vocabulary? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, I suggested you check out “Algebra Survival Guide: A conversational handbook for the thoroughly befuddled.” This little gem is written by Josh Rappaport who was an Algebra tutor show more for 100s of students over 10 years’ time. He has seen first-hand the confusion students have with the vocabulary and the explanations of the typical algebra textbook. The guide uses the question and answer process to explain algebra concepts in clear and user-friendly language. The questions are typical questions other students have asked and the author offers the best answers to those questions. The guide uses great illustrations by Sally Blakemore to make the explanations fun, quirky and the algebraic concepts memorable for the student. The guide can be used as a quick reference guide, as a memorization tool, as a self-teaching program or as your survival buddy that shows you all the common mistakes and misunderstandings a typical student faces with Algebra. The Algebra Survival Guide has the stamp of approval from the Parent’s Choice Foundation and 2011 winner of the Golden Porch Award for top tutoring products. Whether this is your first brush with Algebra or you want to clear up past algebra confusion, this is a great book to guide you on your way! show less
