Summary: A MUST for the Thoroughly Befuddled parent!
Comment: This workbook, along with the Algebra Survival Guide workbook, are great learning tools for kids and parents alike.
I plan on keeping this book around for all 3 of my kids, so I can use it when they ask me for help on their homework. For middle school kids, also check out "Math on call"

Summary: An algebra book with clarity and , yes, humor!
Comment: After tackling a couple of the "Algebra classics," and feeling a bit numb and disoriented, we finally reached for our "Algebra Survival Guide." Its readability swept us away. Out came the xenon lights -- Mr. Rappaport's genuine, clear voice -- and it's all become a fun challenge, now. It's so easy to follow -- why didn't we pull it off the shelf sooner?! And one of the math whizzes we know gives lots of credit to Josh Rappaport
for all that he learned from the book. Hear a geometry guide's on the way...soon, I hope!

Summary: Couldn't Survive without it!
Comment: This book is a "Must-have" resource for anyone teaching or studing Algebra. Fun enough to keep the math "demons" away, and detailed enough for the math-Challenged to finally "get it".
I went from "Hate math" to "Hey, I can do this!" in two weeks.
Mr. Rappaport needs to write more math book.

Summary: A great choice for anyone!
Comment: This book is excellent. I took all the math offered in high school and college algebra (20 years ago!) My 7th grade
daughter is struggling with pre-algebra and I couldn't remember a thing to help her. I ordered the Survival Guide and workbook and they are both fun! My 12 year old works out of this book on her own. It really is self-teaching. Each section takes you step by step through the concepts explaining in simple terms how to do the problems. I am learning all the Algebra concepts and love the way the book is laid out. Very direct, simple, engaging & great to look at visually. I am an artist by profession and give you kudos on the graphics. I also substitute teach in our public schools and this is a great book to learn how to teach basic algebra. I work with a lot of special needs students and knowing how to explain the algebra in fun and practical ways is a blessing. I recommend this book to teachers, parents and students.

Summary: It will solve all of your problems!!!
Comment: I purchased this book last spring in order to prepare myself to take college algebra this fall. In high school I failed algebra and I was beyond confused or befuddled. I put off going to college for 10 YEARS simply because I didn't want to do the math. I was dreading the idea of having to spend the summer studying it. I've always had a fear of math and algebra, and over time I began to hate it. Now when I say I hate it, the term hate may not be enough; my loathing was beyond measure; but from working through this book something amazing happened; I don't hate or fear algebra anymore! Seriously!!! And I understand it! And not only do I understand it; I enjoy it! If the idea of enjoying algebra makes little or no sense to you, if you have spent your time and your money struggling through books or classes that are boring, uninformative, over your head, and/or just plain stupid, then really, this book is for you! Please don't pass this book up; it will change your life. And if you could understand how much I hated algebra, you would understand how good this book really is.
Josh, you changed my life! Thanks!!!
