Problem Solving and Word Problems

64 pp. | Enslow | August, 2004 | Library ISBN 0-7660-2565-9 $22.60
(4) YA Math Success series. These math primers are chattier than traditional textbooks ("In real life, problems are not always as obvious as they are in math books"), but they are no less informative. Wingard-Nelson uses straightforward examples to walk the reader through the basics in each subject. Meanwhile, the small cartoony images of kids saying things such as "HEY! That was easy!" often seem like halfhearted and unnecessary attempts to add interest. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Math Success titles: Algebra I and Algebra II, Data, Graphing, and Statistics, Problem Solving and Word Problems, and Trigonometry.
