Hi, My name is Terri and I am new to this board, but I wanted to post because I wanted to share a workbook that helped us out immensely with Algebra. It was called the Algebra Survival Guide by Josh Rappaport. You can find it at Barnes and Noble. I'd used it before Algebra I (we're using Jacobs now). It helped my son by explaining Algebra concepts in a simple, question-like manner. It is very straight forward without being intimidating. I still use it when he doesn't understand the concept in the Jacob's book. I hope this helps you. Terri
