bluedarling Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 dd13 will be doing MUS Pre-Alg (finish by Christmas) and MUS Algebra this year. I am looking to supplement with some help with word problems and something fun (one might be geared toward algebra and one pre-algebra?) Ideas?

Kareni Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You might consider some books by Danica McKellar: Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss Hot X: Algebra Exposed! She also has Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 For word problems (Algebra level), you might consider Anita Harnadek's Algebra book. Algebra Word Problems Book 1 (She also has a book for Algebra 2.) Then there is How to Solve Word Problems in Algebra by Mildred Johnson My husband uses both of these in his math tutoring.Regards,Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ah, Anita Harnadek also has books of word problems at a lower level: Math Word Problems Book 1 Math Word Problems Book 2 Math Word Problems Level C Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
