Algebra 1 ©2006

Smith, Charles

This textbook covers all of the topics teachers want in an algebra curriculum. This Classics edition introduces all of the field properties early, along with the properties of equality, and encourages students to use these properties as justifications for solving equations. It also provides complete coverage of polynomial operations and all factoring techniques to prepare students for work with rational expressions and quadratic equations later in the course. The curriculum thoroughly covers all traditional Algebra 1 topics, including work with rational and radical expressions. Optional coverage of proof is also included.
