Customer Reviews
Algebra in Action
I am a math supervisor in Central Jersey and decided to try this textbook. I was really impressed and asked one of my staff members to download it and give his opinion. It is one of the most creative textbooks I've seen geared to young people. The videos and graphics are spectacular. As a matter of fact I may try to get enough iPads for my Math I Workshop (an additional RTI class for struggling Algebra I students).
We certainly need more math textbooks like this to motivate students.

As a mathematics instructor for the past 20+ years, I have seen the evolution of technology in education.

The book has a legit authors with awesome pedigrees that make for a great synthesis for learning algebra. Extremely well done and not at all "cheesy"!
