Published by the Critical Thinking Company, this book teaches the fundamental arithmetic principles that govern algebra to help the student apply them as needed. Explanations are clear and well done and reteach Algebra concepts regardless of the initial Algebra curriculum studied. Review of the reading strategies that are needed to translate word problems are also covered. This book is intended to be a supplement or a good prep course for Algebra 2 or SAT prep. Answers are in the back of the book. ~Judy

Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other
Other methodologies
Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement
Low Teacher Involvement
Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Publisher's Description of Essential Algebra for Advanced High School Math and SAT
The Essential Algebra for Advanced High School and SAT is a 241-page math book in the Mathematical Reasoning series and is an ‘essential’ resource for building the foundation of ongoing excellence in mathematics. This book offers an in-depth approach to teaching math skills focusing on important algebraic concepts that are vital to a student’s success in advanced high school mathematics. This book is broken down into ten algebraic concepts: Understanding Terms and Order of Operations; Understanding the Family of Real Numbers; Rationals and Irrationals; Working with Terms and Polynomials; Polynomial Division, Factoring, and Rational Expressions; Solving Equations and Inequalities; Ratio, Proportion, and Percent; How Algebra is Used in Geometry;Understanding Functions; Working With Quadratic Equations and Functions.
Category Description for Mathematical Reasoning (Gr. PK-9)
A grade-level curriculum and supplement in one activity book approach! The Mathematical Reasoning series is a colorful and engaging worktext for students as young as 3 up through 9th grade students. At such an early age, mathematical reasoning begins with simple activities such as distinguishing between even or odd amounts and learning the ordinal numbers. This series is correlated to the NCTM standards, and each level will teach skills in number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. Accordingly, each level incorporates topics such as patterns, number lines, graphs, fractions, probability, and problem-solving, as well as basic math operation skills. The authors suggest working through these activity books page-by-page. The content spirals, which gives your child time to "digest" new concepts before moving on to more complex material. The full-color activity sheets should especially appeal to the younger student. Not only are the illustrations eye-catching, but they do an excellent job of demonstrating mathematical representations and relationships.
Although manipulatives are not required, a link to a virtual
manipulative website is provided in case additional concrete-level
reinforcement is needed. A wide variety of exercises and activities are
utilized to keep your child both interested and motivated. The goal is to move
students from a concrete understanding of math to a more abstract knowledge.
This is implemented by following these math stages: concrete, semi-concrete,
semi-abstract, and abstract. This cycle repeats each time a new skill is introduced.
The series incorporates discussion-based problem-solving to prepare students for mathematical reasoning required for upper-level math. Worksheets are reproducible in the family setting and answers are provided at the back for Levels B–Geometry. Work through from cover-to-cover as your math curriculum or introduce specific worksheets to strengthen skills needed as a supplement. ~Rebecca
