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 potential for
success in a subsequent course in elementary algebra. New topics,
one at a time, are introduces resulting in a text that is easily
understood and easy to use in the classroom.
