Dr. Math Gets You Ready for Algebra

From the #1 online math resource for parents, students, and teachers, a question-and-answer book that gets kids ready for algebra

For more than a decade, kids have been writing to Dr. Math at the award-winning Math Forum Web site with questions about their math problems. And the math doctors at The Math Forum have been replying with clear explanations and helpful hints. Dr. Math Gets You Ready for Algebra helps prepare kids for one of the biggest leaps in their math learning experience–the jump from the concrete world of numbers and real objects to the abstract world of letters and symbols. It includes dozens of letters from kids who’ve had trouble understanding the basic math concepts used in algebra, along with answers from top math teachers. Topics covered include basic operations, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, equations in one variable, and much more.

The Math Forum@Drexel, established in 1992, is an award-winning Web site and the most popular math resource for students and teachers in elementary and secondary math courses.
