Integrated Algebra

The author is hampered by the fact that the Integrated Algebra is a brand new regents. There is no prior history. At the end of the volume, there is a good sample exam which emulates the actual ones to be administered in January and June of 2008. In short, don't throw out your old Math A book because it contains more pertinent regents practice questions. A cursory review of the new volume disclosed that the content is similar to the Math A. The sample exam is slightly more complicated and theoretical. Parts 2 and 3 of the new sample exam are significantly more complex than the comparable Math A. I suspect that the initial administrations of this new exam will produce a curve which reflects the learning transfer in the new course. The examples in the new Integrated Algebra are pertinent. There are plenty of illustrations on how to utilize the statistical calculator to solve a plethora of problems-particularly in probability and statistics. From a review of the sample exam, I believe that candidates should endeavor to maximize their score on Part I of the exam which is fairly comparable to the current Math A. The new volume is replete with plenty of pertinent examples in polynomials, number theory, equations, elementary trigonometry and probability/statistical inference amongst many other topics. The acquisition would be a good value for the price charged. Students would benefit from this volume because it contains sufficient illustrations to amplify the concepts tested on the "live regents exam". Practice is helpful because the new regents criteria requires a minimum passing grade of 65 in all the regents subjects pertinent to obtaining a diploma in NYS. The new Integrated Algebra matter will be tested again in one form or another on the Collegiate SAT.
