A Gift to the Visual-Spatial Learner

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this book is worth a thousand dollars to an Algebra teacher. It's so much easier to show a graph and ask the students to explain what they see, relating their own experiences, than to give an abstract formula and ask the students to graph their answers. The graph that introduces a concept stays with them throughout the lesson, and becomes the place where they can visualize the process. Sequential learners will also benefit from this approach.

It really helped me teach my students

I think all teachers should teach their students visually. When a teacher lectures the whole time kids becomes bored. If you buy this book I garantee youb that you will liven up your students and you will see better results from your students. I love this book because it is filled with interesting problems and really gives a new light to teaching algebra.
