Thorough intro to algebra!
Great concepts discussed in this book. The way the material is presented helps develop a concrete and also abstract way of thinking about math that encourages true problem solving.

GREAT resource!!!!
Truthfully, am not sure I'm rating the individual book or the overall series and the AoPS online resources (see: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com ). From our viewpoint, AoPS supporting online videos and Alcumus problems beats out Khan Academy (yes, we used that for awhile but found it somewhat encumber some and well, boring.)If one is a person that is math oriented, this is the series for you. After a LOT of research looking at the various math approaches (Saxon, Singapore Fred, Math-U-See, Video Text Math, the list goes on...) and reading the various reviews found through internet-land, this is the curriculum I chose for my 8th grader who innately "gets" math. He can first try to solve the problems, going straight to the "meat and potatoes". THEN, if he answers the questions incorrectly, he can re-read the book,The material is presented straightforward, nice and clean - meaning there are no distracting graphics and side bar comments to clutter up what is being presented...some of the resource I reviewed were SO BUSY that is was hard to focus the eye and absorb the concepts.The only thing I would have liked to incorporate was a glossary in the back of key terms. Would come in handy to quiz yourself. Hands down the best resource out there for upper middle school aged people and above.

but this book is awesome for him
Homeschooling my brainy 7th grader was a little intimidating, but this book is awesome for him! He is able to read the chapters and do the work. When he doesn't quite get the concepts, we are able to work together through the challenge. The solutions manual makes it easy for me to know how to help him when he needs it. But the chapters do a great job of explaining the concepts for him so he rarely does need my help. I love this program. And he is loving it too! Win-win!

Terrific Book for Summer Reinforcement
Our son needed some extra practice on his Algebra and this (along with Solutions book) really helped solidify his understanding of basic concepts. He was making careless mistakes, and this helped, along with increasing his speed at solving
