Category Description for Math Power Basics (Gr. 6-12):
A basic skills curriculum dedicated to total concept mastery and designed for students having difficulty with traditional courses. Lessons are self-instructional and fairly lengthy, roughly 10 student pages per lesson. Instruction is clear (written at a fourth grade reading level), doesn't assume prior knowledge, and explanations tend to be more procedural than conceptual. Student pages include instruction, drill, practice problems, and word problems. Activities develop problem-solving skills and usually involve "real" world applications, such as planning a party, comparison shopping, and balancing a budget.

I have a mathematically challenged teen that has been through some great Algebra curriculum but needs to keep her skills up. I chose this packet because the price is reasonable and the description states that the instruction is clear and written at a fourth grade reading level.

High school student who reads at about a 5th grade level. Other text were too wordy and difficult to comprehend.

I like how it is simply presented and covers all of the need to know concepts. My daughter is dyslexic and this has been recommended as a good fit for dyslexics / dyscalculics.

Would this set be considered Algebra 1? And would it be considered one credit of high school math?
BEST ANSWER: The Power Basics series is a series designed for "alternate populations," that is, students who have a difficult time with traditional textbooks. Accordingly, while they cover the same general subjects covered by high school students, the courses are written at a 4th/5th grade reading level, include much shorter reading sections and more activity-based work (i.e. worksheets), and are far less rigorous. They could be considered a high school credit for some students. However, many states will not accept texts written at that level as typical high school credits for typical students.

Love it
I am very thankful that they recommended this to me. My daughter had a hard time with pre algebra last year. This has turned things around! Love how it explains everything so simple.

Finally!
Algebra made easy! This book is perfect for anyone who struggles with algebra, needs to brush up on algebra, or wants to know the basics. This is the third curriculum I have purchased and the only one I would recommend for people who are not naturally math inclined.
