Learning the Language of Algebra: How to Solve Algebra Word Problems

By: Minor, Victoria L.

Much of the trouble that students have with word problems stems from the difficulty they encounter with the language and symbols of algebra. Many students enter their elementary algebra courses insufficiently prepared to model problems using abstract symbols, an essential requirement for success in algebra and all mathematics courses which follow. Learning the Language of Algebra addresses this problem by teaching the language of algebra and how it is used to model word problems.
The book begins with simple word problems that require no algebra and uses them as the building blocks for demonstrating how to translate a word problem from its verbal language into its algebraic language. One will find numerous examples similar to those found in the standard elementary and intermediate algebra textbooks.
