No-Nonsense Algebra, 2nd Edition: Part of the Mastering Essential Math Skills Series

I liked this for some tougher math classes. It gave good step-by-step ways to solve equations as well as practice solving problems. This book was very helpful.

This book explains the fundamentals well and is easy to use and follow with good practice material. Really pleased with the purchase and would recommend.

I have searched through many high school workbooks trying to find one that isn’t just a workbook but also provides a guide to help learn how to do the problems.This book not only gives helpful hints, it also provides examples that break the problems down on how to solve them. It also has a website so you can watch a video tutorial to extend your understanding.You will find a glossary & answer sheet in the back of the book as well.

Good book for refreshing your memory about algebra, with problems and solutions. Explanations are short in the text so it for those who studied these topics before, but we enjoyed doing the problems and checking our answers

We have used this series with my son for 3 yrs (homeschooling family) and it works well with his style of learning - stripped down, no fuss, no cartoons, no endless pages of text. My son appreciates the brief video that accompanies each lesson. After YEARS of trying different math programs, THIS is the series that causes no complaints and is showing real results. My son plans on either entering the Navy or a skilled trade after graduation and this book is providing him solid enough computational skills to test well on both the ASVAB and trade school entry tests.To make the book a bit easier to use for us, I removed the text from its spine and put it in a 3-Ring binder. I laminated the reference pages (which are tremendously helpful pages!). Lastly, I integrated the practice book into the binder and removed the answer section for just the practice book. This allows my son to have the answers while he works the problems in the main book and then I grade the "practice" pages. Using a binder also allows my son to keep his worked out problems with lessons so that he can reference his own work when needed. I offer this information to those who buy this book and then realize that the book doesn't have perforated pages (which would be my only recommended improvement) and doesn't lay flat for easy use.Anyway, I highly recommend this book, and this series!
