Take strides toward Algebra 1 preparedness with the Foundations of Algebra Textbook. The rigorous content will promote abstract critical thinking and independent problem solving in your homeschooled child with the inclusion of specific problem-solving strategies to add to their tool belt for later application. In addition to these widely transferable skills, Foundations of Algebra is structured to give students a rich and comprehensive understanding of foundational math skills as they move into higher level math concepts. At the end of this course, your child should be ready to take on Algebra 1 with the knowledge and skills nurtured through the use of this text.
- Mastery of basic math principles and movement of these into increasingly abstract contexts that slowly build on one another
- Real-world examples and applications to demonstrate the importance of math in our daily lives
- Logical thinking and the tools to be a problem solver, with a focus on teaching the “why” behind math processes
- A variety of appropriately rigorous practice problems
- Extra enrichment opportunities at the end of each chapter to engage curiosity and encourage enthusiasm for math
When used alongside the Foundations of Algebra Practice Book, your homeschooled 8th grader will have the basic tools they need to be a successful math student and a strong problem solver, both in and out of class.
