Applications of Algebra: how to build algebraic equations to solve story problems; solutions problems; mixture problems; probability; and systems of equations. 255 pgs. ©2024
This is the sixth volume of the Learn Math Fast System. Itteaches how to BUILD an equation to solve advanced story problems. The student will have already learned how to SOLVE algebraic equation in Volume 5 and this book will show how to use this knowledge to solve difficult problems like the ones found on the SATs. For example, can you solve this problem?
A 100 cubic centimeter solution of acid and water is 26% acid. How many cubic centimeters of pure water should be added to create a solution that is 13% acid?
After reading volume 6, this story problem will be a snap to solve.
Other topics covered are Probability, Inequalities, Mixture Problems, Quadratic Formula, Simultaneous Solutions, Distance Formula, and Similar Triangles. There are 232 pages with some color ink added to create a unique color-coded system to help students read algebra.
The Learn Math Fast System is a streamlined, mastery-based math curriculum designed to help students quickly gain confidence and automaticity in math skills from basic arithmetic all the way through high school Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry.
Written directly to the student in a clear, conversational, and often humorous style, the program focuses on conceptual understanding, useful math “tricks,” and plenty of practice. Short, often multi-sensory lessons help students master topics efficiently and become automatic and confident in both computation and application. It works exceptionally well as a stand-alone curriculum or as a targeted supplement for students who need to fill gaps or move at an accelerated pace.
Program Structure by Volume
Each softcover book contains lessons, practice worksheets, chapter tests, and a final review test, with detailed solutions included in the back. The first four volumes are suitable for a wide range of ages and are especially effective for strengthening foundational skills. Volumes 5–7 cover standard high school math.
Key Program Features
Note on Manipulatives & Worksheets: Volume 1 uses coins as manipulatives and has optional pre-printed worksheets and an Answer Key. Volume 4 requires a simple Geometry Kit, sold separately. Volume 7 uses Smart Cards for postulates and theorems. For co-ops using Volumes 1–4, a 1-year digital PDF license is available to use with the Teacher’s Pack.
The Learn Math Fast System is an excellent choice for homeschool families who want an efficient, no-fluff math program that gets students to mastery quickly while building strong mathematical confidence.
