This is the SOLUTIONS MANUAL ONLY for Art of Problem Solving's Prealgebra textbook. Prealgebra prepares students for the rigors of algebra, and also teaches students problem-solving techniques to prepare them for prestigious middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, and the AMC 8. Topics covered in the book include the properties of arithmetic, exponents, primes and divisors, fractions, equations and inequalities, decimals, ratios and proportions, unit conversions and rates, percents, square roots, basic geometry (angles, perimeter, area, triangles, and quadrilaterals), statistics, counting and probability, and more! The text is structured to inspire the reader to explore and develop new ideas. Each section starts with problems, giving the student a chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then includes solutions to these problems, through which algebraic techniques are taught. Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches are highlighted throughout the text. In addition to the instructional material, the book contains well over 1000 problems. The solutions manual contains full solutions to all of the problems, not just answers. This book can serve as a complete Prealgebra course. Review: Five Stars - must read book n solution Review: Just a Solutions Manual (with full explainations!) -- but Very Worthwhile! - This is a review of the AoP Prealgebra Solutions Manual. That's what you get in this--a whole volume of solutions to chapter end problems and challenge problems as listed in the separate volume "Prealgebra" also produced by AoP (the Art of Problem Solving). This gives full explanations to the problems in the textbook. Do you NEED this? No. If you buy the other book for a class, your teacher may not want you to buy this either, and that might be a good thing to be sure you challenge yourself. But, if you are working through the textbook on your own, this volume is well worth purchasing. There are extra problems you can do online and there are many problems to do and fully explained in the textbook, but being able to look up answers to the chapter end problems and to challenge yourself with the challenge problems and see if you go them right (always a confidence booster when you do!), this volume is invaluable. That's all it is though. No frills, no lesson pages, no wasted space. Could you learn with just this and not the text? Perhaps. But the text gives far more explanations about the hows and whys to do the problems. I don't have much money and so was uncertain about buying thi, but now I'm rather glad I purchased this. Thanks AoP!

Great. Must buy for all secondary school students.
God send. My son is good at math, but not someone who grasps it intuitively like some students do, who study the art of problem solving math courses. He does enjoy the challenge of it, and doesn't want it to become a headache like it can be for some, so whilst the going is good, he told me to get this, so he can do his best and make the most of it. He also doesn't like his math teacher, and does not want this teacher on his case constantly, lol. It is a full on read in the sense that it's very long. However that's because it covers everything! So it's great and exactly what you want. It's read easy. It goes beyond what is taught at school, but despite this, it's style of writing makes sure nobody gets lost. We have all read some of it in our house, and we all followed it just fine. Wish I had had it in school. 5 stars.

Exactly how I would like to teach math to kids
This is the best math pre-algebra book I have used to teach my kids. It helps them understand the concepts very well and draws the kids to do more. I am glad I found this.
