Become fluent in these beginning algebra skills: combine like terms, factor binomials and trinomials, factor out a minus sign, distribute terms to binomials and trinomials, distribute a minus sign, multiply variables with different exponents, apply the FOIL method, the square of the sum and the difference of squares, and isolate the unknown in a simple equation. This book doesn't offer thorough coverage of every algebra skill, but provides plenty of practice with the useful skills listed above. These skills are important for building a strong foundation in algebra. Most algebra students would benefit from additional practice.

Master essential algebra skills through helpful explanations, instructive examples, and plenty of practice exercises with full solutions. Authored by experienced teacher, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., this algebra book covers: distributing and factoring the FOIL method cross multiplying quadratic equations and the quadratic formula how to combine like terms and isolate the unknown an explanation of what algebra is a variety of rules for working with exponents solving systems of equations using substitution, simultaneous equations, or Cramer's rule algebra with inequalities The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for solving algebra problems.

This math workbook, authored by Chris McMullen, Ph.D., is focused on essential prealgebra skills. It includes examples, plenty of practice problems, answers, and full solutions to most problems. Topics include: order of operations; PEMDAS; fractions, decimals, and percents; exponents and square roots; a beginning introduction to working with variables; ratios and rates; negative numbers; and other prealgebra skills.

AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.CONTENTS: This Algebra Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers provides ample practice for developing fluency in very fundamental algebra skills - in particular, how to solve standard equations for one or more unknowns. These algebra 1 practice exercises are relevant for students of all levels - from grade 7 thru college algebra. This workbook is conveniently divided up into seven chapters so that students can focus on one algebraic method at a time. Skills include solving linear equations with a single unknown (with a separate chapter dedicated toward fractional coefficients), factoring quadratic equations, using the quadratic formula, cross multiplying, and solving systems of linear equations. Not intended to serve as a comprehensive review of algebra, this workbook is instead geared toward the most essential algebra skills. An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook. Students are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.PRACTICE: With no pictures, this workbook is geared strictly toward learning the material and developing fluency through practice.EXAMPLES: Each section begins with a few pages of instructions for how to solve the equations followed by a few examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until students are able to solve the problems independently.ANSWERS: Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.

*IF YOU BUY THE PAPER VERSION YOU GET THE KINDLE VERSION FOR FREE* ⭐⭐⭐ Algebra 1 Workbook ⭐⭐⭐ This book contains: Basic operations, number and integers, properties, rules and tips Monomials, Binomials and Polynomials operations How to find Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor, Factorization and Prime Numbers Different types of expressions, and related ways of solutions Different types of equations, Inequalities and Functions with the related ways of solutions Many exercises the reader can do for each different argument with related explanations and solutions Algebra is a very noteworthy subfield of mathematics in its versatility alone if nothing else. You will be hard-pressed to find one single area of mathematics that is taught after algebra in which algebra is not practiced in almost every situation. The most general and the most commonly used definition of algebra is the study of mathematical symbols as well as the study of the manipulation of these symbols. Mathematical symbols are one of the most basic elements of mathematics, aside from numbers themselves and operation symbols, so the study of these symbols is one of the most important studies that one can take up as far as mathematics is concerned. To that end, in this book, you will find some of the most important topics regarding algebra. These include but are not limited to the following: understanding integers and basic operations, inequalities and one-step operations; fractions and factors; the main rules of arithmetic; linear equations in the coordinate plane, expressions, equations and functions; real numbers; solving linear equations; visualizing linear functions, linear equations, linear inequalities, systems of linear equations and inequalities; exponents and exponential function; polynomials, quadratic equations, radical expression, radical equations, rational expressions; and finally, intermediate topics in algebra.

The Homework Practice Workbook contains two worksheets for every lesson in the Student Edition. This workbook helps students: Practice the skills of the lesson, Use their skills to solve word problems.

"Julie Miller, Molly O'Neill, and Nancy Hyde originally wrote their developmental math series because students were entering their College Algebra course underprepared. The students were not mathematically mature enough to understand the concepts of math, nor were they fully engaged with the material. The authors began their developmental mathematics offerings with intermediate algebra to help bridge that gap. This in turn developed into several series of textbooks from Prealgebra through Precalculus to help students at all levels before Calculus"--
