Key to Algebra (10 wkbks. and ans.)

Key to Algebra offers a unique, proven way to introduce algebra to your students. New concepts are explained in simple language, and examples are easy to follow. Word problems relate algebra to familiar situations, helping students to understand abstract concepts. Students develop understanding by solving equations and inequalities intuitively before formal solutions are introduced. Some families have found this to be an excellent transition course to use before Saxon Algebra. Key to Algebra has a different way of approaching and explaining the concepts. Some students find this very helpful before continuing onto the Saxon Algebra 1 and 2 courses. Suitable for Grades 5-12.

Students begin their study of algebra in Books 1-4 using only integers. Books 5-7 introduce rational numbers and expressions. Books 8-10 extend coverage to the real number system.
