For more than a
decade, kids have been writing to Dr. Math at the award-winning
Math Forum Web site with questions about their math
problems. And the math doctors at The Math Forum have
been replying with clear explanations and helpful hints.
Dr. Math Gets You Ready for Algebra helps prepare kids
for one of the biggest leaps in their math learning
experience–the jump from the concrete world of
numbers and real objects to the abstract world of letters
and symbols. It includes dozens of letters from kids
who’ve had trouble understanding the basic math
concepts used in algebra, along with answers from top
math teachers. Topics covered include basic operations,
integers, rational numbers, real numbers, equations
in one variable, and much more.
