| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press Real World Algebra |
| My son began using this material in the gifted program at his school last year in 4th grade. He was always "bored" with math. I bought the book for him to do at home, and he is motivated to spend time learning on his own without coaxing. Very understandable and easy to use. He is able to apply the concepts in other learning situations. |
| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press Author is VERY helpful |
I use Zaccaro's books with alternative and home based students. All of his texts are fantastic.
For a student who wants to learn, nothing could be better.
If you have a question I have found it very easy to call or email the author and he responds quickly. |
| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press Fun overview for introducing Algebra to a gifted youngster |
Almost all the books I purchase are bought with an eye towards introducing advance concepts in a fun way to a gifted upper elementary homeschooled student.
This book is clearly fun and the introduction of each concept is simple enough that even a 3rd grade gifted girl can handle. I think it has fun uses. It can be used as a supplement to a regular Algebra text for an accelerated elementary student who just needs a quick explanation of what the concept is about.
The examples are truly real as opposed to useless, star trek questions which one sometimes find in regular brick and mortar textbooks.
A good supplement to have around the house for anyone with little kids who love solving Math problems. |
| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press Excellent Book - No Question. |
Let's just say that I've been out of school for a while now and Algebra has never been my strong suit. However, I use math all the time in my job so I thought I'd try to learn easier ways of doing things.
I have 4 different Algebra books and none comes close to teaching the rules of Algebra better. I normally just get confused but after I got over the cartoonish layout of the book, I realized how much I was actually retaining. .
I normally throw books out the window once I get to negatives and fractions but this book really does make real world comparisons and common sense to make complicated facts easy to understand.

| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press This book saved me!!!! |
| I am a gifted facilitator but that doesn't mean I am an expert in every subject area! This book helped me understand the logic of Algebra for the first time in my life! It helped me understand Algebra in a way that I could explain to my students and that made sense! My students enjoyed the little stories that helped them remember the rules of Algebra! This book saved me! It was a breakthrough for me and I give it the highest rating. Anyone who is over their head in trying to teach Algebra will find it a lifesaver. |
| Real World Algebra by Hickory Grove Press Book Description |
| Algebra is often taught abstractly with little or no emphasis on what algebra is or how it can be used to solve real problems. Just as English can be translated into other languages, word problems can be "translated" into the math language of algebra and easily solved. Real World Algebra explains this process in an easy to understand format using cartoons and drawings. This makes self-learning easy for both the student and any teacher who never did quite understand algebra. Includes chapters on algebra and money, algebra and geometry, algebra and physics, algebra and levers and many more. Designed for children in grades 4-9 with higher math ability and interest but could be used by older students and adults as well. Contains 22 chapters with instruction and problems at three levels of difficulty. |
