Preparation for Algebra
introduces algebraic concepts as basic skills in arithmetic
are presented. The reasons for this integration are threefold.
First, the students will have more interest in learning the
skills of arithmetic when the purpose for solving algebra is
revealed. Second, the fact that algebra is an extension of arithmetic
will become apparent to the student. Third, the concepts of
algebra that are introduced will enhance the student’s
possibility of success in a subsequent course in elementary
algebra. New topics, one at a time, are introduced resulting
in a text that is easily understood and easy to use in the classroom.
