Algebra II
Mary Jane Sterling
- Reading
- Choose one chapter or problem type, attempt a small set of exercises, then explain each step aloud. Use quizzes, where included, to identify topics needing another pass.
- Themes
- Building mathematical understanding: The book teaches algebraic concepts through lessons, examples, techniques and practice, moving across foundational and advanced areas. It treats mathematical understanding as something developed through methods, examples and repeated practice.
- Progress and self-directed study: The book offers practice problems and, in the 2022 edition, end-of-chapter quizzes and additional online quizzes. It presents practice and checking progress as parts of learning algebra independently.
- Worth knowing
- The main point to consider is the learner’s current mathematical starting point: the book includes advanced areas as well as basics, so selecting a manageable topic may be more useful than reading straight through.
