Algebra Word Problems
We've come to expect great books from Critical Thinking Press. This series, written by an experienced algebra teacher, helps students to develop the ability to solve those tough algebra word problems using process skills. These excellent resource books include hints and detailed solutions should you get stuck. Algebra 1 covers breaking a problem into easily handled parts, translating words into algebraic symbols, ages and coins, mixtures, formulas, rectangles, d=rt, percents, and work rates. Algebra 2 contains breaking a problem into easily handled parts, solving a system of two equations with two variables, solving a system of three equations with three variables, general quadratic equations, indeterminate equations, false proofs, magic squares, and "choose a number". ~ Stephanie
