My rating for this textbook is five stars because this textbook has sections in which show how mathematics can be applied to modern-day jobs, and have easy-to-understand examples of the featured lesson. This textbook also have selected answers in which may help the student to understand the featured problem a little-bit better. This textbook is not always good---there are some things which might confuse the student, in which it confused me. The example on how to figure out arithmetic sequences have confused me for quite a while until I realized that was my method of figuring it out! I recommend some study guides to go with this textbook.
I use it...I am in 6th grade

This is a really good book because it shows you algrebra in a slow and easy way, kind of like adding and subtracting, but harder. I would recomend this book for anybody who thinks that pre-algrebra is hard.
Excellent resource for homeschoolers

We're using this book and the algebra and trig books in our homeschool. I like this series better than any math book we've used. The explanations are clear and there are excellent projects in the back of the book. It does seem to skip steps occassionally, but it's nothing serious. There are good test-taking skills taught, connections to algebra and geometry, critical thinking and writing opportunities. The books are very thorough.
