Synopsis

This workbook helps students learn, practice, and reinforce their pre-algebra skills. It takes them on an adventure alongside a set of campers; while they explore together, students will practice their skills, including how to evaluate and simplify mathematical expressions, solve equations with rational numbers, and graph equations with two variables. What is your first reaction to the term back to basics ? Unfortunately, many students and teachers immediately think of unimaginative workbooks and dull, dry questions and answers. Whether this image is triggered by actual memory or by popular hearsay, it can become a myth laid to rest with the Basic Not Boring series. Each book presents a carefully researched skills sequence and features exercises based on age-appropriate, high-interest themes developed by a team of experienced educators to make basic, fundamental skills exciting and achievable. The exercises introduce new skills, review and reinforce skills and content, and encourage use of higher order thinking skills. The Basic Not Boring books will empower students to master skills and concepts needed to move successfully and enthusiastically into the next level of lifelong learning.
