extendedforecast Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So I bought the BA 3A Guide and Practice books from a homeschooler a couple of years ago, and the first seven pages of the practice book are missing. I don’t know why I didn’t look when I bought it...I mean I did flip through to verify it hadn’t been written in. Anyway, now that my DD is finally ready for BA, I need to figure out if the missing pages are important enough that I need to buy a new practice book. So should we just read the guide, or should I buy a new workbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreen Claire Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The problems in each chapter are numbered from 1 through 100-something, so if you turn to the first problem you have in the book you will know exactly how many problems you are actually missing. (For example, if page 8 starts with question #9, then you are only missing 8 questions). Looking at book 2D which I just grabbed off the shelf, you might only be missing 5-10 problems. The solution to those problems are written out IN FULL in the back of the book, so you might be able to recreate them if you really wanted to... Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Okay, cool. Thank you! I’ll go back and look at how many problems are missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJPPKGFGSC Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I just looked at my copy of the workbook. The first six pages are just the title page and introductory stuff. Page seven has some simple activities about angles. There is some really good stuff on page eight, which gives you instructions for the puzzles on page 9. If you need a copy of that one page, reply here and then PM me and I will send you a scan of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahm Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Check to see if you can get those pages from the sample online on the Beast website. I haven't looked recently, but I think they have the whole first "lesson" up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If you need to, BA online is free for a month now. You could access similar problems to those missing there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I would call/email AoPS and tell them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample pages start on the same page my practice book starts at (p. 14). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
