Heath Algebra 1: An Integrated Approach by Houghton Mifflin Company

Moderately Happy

The book "Algebra 1" is a decent textbook. It is a good refresher for those who need to brush up on their algebra skills. The beginning is nicely structured which seems to build the student up for the next lesson. The problem with the book is it does not include more challenging or important topics such as joint and direct variation, set notation, or conditional statements. It does not cover enough on matrices or statistics. It would benefit those who are middle school aged who are learning algebra, or those who want basic instruction with no advanced concepts. The book is organized well and it does allow for enough practice. I suggest, for those who want to learn more beyond the scope of the textbook, to purchase another textbook along with this.

Algebra 1 or Calculators for the Stupid?

This book pretends to be an Algebra 1 textbook, but is more of a calculator instruction manual. A child who completes a course based upon this book will be highly proficient in the use of his or her calculator, but will not have gained an iota of mathmatical skill or knowledge. If you are considering this book, I suggest you pull the instruction book from the box your calculator came in, it is just as useful and not near as heavy. On the upside, the book has lots of pretty colors.

Perfect!

I as a student had Saxton math books. I didn't like them very much. When I got into High School we were introduced into the Heath mathematics course. These books have real - life applications and real life equations in them. They also get you ready for the math courses you take in College.
