I am a mother who didn't do well in Algebra in high school. I am now having to help my 8th grade daughter with her Algebra. Having used Tobey & Slater's Basic College Math and Beginning Algebra (whenever her textbook doesn't make sense to me or to her), I am exceedingly impressed with their exceptional ability to explain clearly yet simply the mathmatical concepts. My experience with these books gave me the confidence to buy their Intermediate Algebra (4th Edition 2002). This updated edition provides clear explanations that make sense to someone who is not a math whiz. It includes not only exercises, but also practice problems, real-life applications, cumulative reviews, and writing exercises to teach students to translate numbers into words. It is a very comprehensive approach to empower the student to not just grasp the concept but also to retain it.
