Algebra Structure and Method Book 1 Description:

Algebra Structure and Method Book 1 review:
4 stars (Math Blast) - I think overall, the book, Algebra Structure and method is wonderful. The book provides the odd answers to the problems, in the back, which is nice, because it gives me sense of if I'm getting the problems correct, without telling me all the answers. I also like how the difficulty of problems is catagorized, with "a" problems being the easiest, "b"problems, in the middle and "c" problems the hardest. Sometimes the explanations of how to do the problem are a little confusing,though. All in all, this book is a good teacher.
5 stars (8th grade view) - I found this book easy to use. The only time I had trouble in Algebra was when we were getting into factoring and our teacher decided to go outside the book >.< But other then that it is easy to understand and it explains very well.
5 stars (This book is still out there and still looks the same!) - I was searching for a good textbook to learn Latin and for some reason this book popped up since somebody had purchased it with the Latin text I was considering. I used Algebra Structure and Method Book 1 as a student in 1991 and 1992 in my high school Algebra 1 class. This was a very good textbook and I had previously hated mathematics. My school also used the second book in this series as well as the Geometry book that goes with it. I learned math and did well at it. I think this series would benefit any high school math student still today in spite of the fact that the cover has not changed in almost 14 years.
