  Students will realize that the power of algebra can help them discover fascinating things about places and people through real-life examples. This series concentrates on the essentials of algebra plus provides a thorough breakdown of difficult concepts using step-by-step explanations and visual examples. Topics Covered: • What is Algebra, anyway? • Kinds of numbers • Order of Operations – PEMDAS • Rules of exponents • Properties of operations Here's what the Parent's Choice Award Committee had to say: In short, if you want basic algebra instruction, you get solid educational content here, in a very traditional and straightforward approach to math. However, if you're looking for an out-of-the-box approach to teach algebra concepts to a math-phobic child or one struggling with traditional approaches to the subject matter, investigate resources specially designed by educators who support "mathematics reform" over "basic math instruction." Includes a DVD plus a CD-ROM with teacher's guide, quizzes, graphic organizers and classroom activities. Teaching Systems programs are optimized for classroom use and include "Full Public Performance Right". Copyright 2010. 26 minutes. RECIPIENT OF PARENTS CHOICE RECOMMENDED AWARD. |
