Intended as a precursor to Algebra I, this course introduces math’s basic concepts, as well as the fundamentals that underlie some of its more complicated areas. Let Professor Siegel instruct your student with his knack for explaining both the how and why of key mathematical ideas and techniques, including whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, integers, exponents, square roots, and measurements.
Young Mathematicians at Work, Vol. 3: Constructing Fractions, Decimals, and Percents
In our efforts to reform mathematics education, we've learned a tremendous amount about young students' strategies and the ways they construct knowledge, without fully understanding how to support such development over time. The Dutch do. So, funded by the National Science Foundation and ExxonMobil, Mathematics in the City was begun, a collaborative inservice project that pooled the best thinking from both countries.
Whether you're a student preparing to take algebra or a parent who wants to brush up on basic math, this fun, friendly guide has the tools you need to get in gear. From positive, negative, and whole numbers to fractions, decimals, and percents, you'll build necessary skills to tackle more advanced topics, such as imaginary numbers, variables, and algebraic equations.
