Pre-algebra and algebra
Lucille Caron, Philip M. St. Jacques
- Reading
- Try a short section together: first check understanding of its example, then invite your child to explain a similar problem in their own steps. A tutor is another stated way to use the book.
- Themes
- Building algebra skills: The instructional sequence moves from integers and variables to solving equations with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The focus is specific: foundational algebra and equation-solving. If your child needs help, consider whether they want to begin with integers and variables or practise solving equations.
