Basic Math & Pre-Algebra Workbook For Dummies with Online Practice (For Dummies (Lifestyle))

Excellent. Easy to follow.

Very helpful! Great refresher for going back to school. Explains everything well and the online quizzes are great for testing yourself.

Bought to assist someone who is 're-learning' the basics to pursue higher education. It has been a great resource for them!

I feel like I am back in school. I truly am learning what I missed in school.

I'm a retired math teacher who spent 25 years with middle school students. I used this book in conjunction with the tutoring I've done since I retired from the classroom. If you are a parent, it's great to use in helping your student. NEVER think that you can't help your child. I've had students say they were shown a "different way" by their parents. I always say if it works, who cares??? This is a great resource

I was told that I had a high IQ with a learning disability in math, and I've always believed it. As a result I've always been scared of going to college and not be able to proceed because of basic math. This book makes sense! I get it! I am so thrilled, thank you! I start class in 4 weeks and I know that I'll be ready to go. I am 48 and I'm finally going to go get my college degree, thanks to this wonderful book and the success that I have had with it's easy to understand explanations. Thank you Mark!

Eh. I am only on chapter 5 and there have already been two typos in the answers that I have caught. I am just using this to refresh my skills but the first one was somewhat confusing because it was a missing (-) sign in an exercise which made me redo it multiple times until I realized the answer was calculated with the missing (-). The second was an answer saying 4x8 is a factor pair of 40. The online practice hasn’t been much better. In one chapter a few exercises had one parenthesis not a second one so I wasn’t sure what should have been included and what should have been outside. To be fair I was doing them on my tablet and not desktop so maybe there was an issue causing it display improperly. Since I am already fairly confident in my skills up to the point I am in the book, it hasn’t been such an issue, but I can imagine it would be super frustrating if I was truly learning.

Great practice for kids

Loving this book. I'm going cover to cover and I'm honestly surprised by the small pieces of information that I never knew... Names for things, easier formuli for equations etc. Really good stuff

If your like myself and you have no math skills what so ever, you struggled with math your whole life, and your looking to improve your math skills, I can almost promise you this book will have you doing math you’ve never even imagined you could. I personally worked through the entire book from start to finish (which was a little painful at times because I already knew some of the stuff at the beginning of the book) but I did that so that I could really get myself into “math mode” and one week after doing this book, I’m doing algebra, long division, exponents, graphs, integers, fractions and percentages like it’s nothing. I swear to you if your reading this and looking for a good book to start with I would highly suggest this. Some of the reviews point out a few grammar errors and whatever, get over it. This book is amazing and has helped me so much. I can’t stress enough, your best bet is to do what I did and go start to finish (although you don’t need to, you can just jump to the categories you need help with if your looking to just brush up on specific topics, which is another reason this book is great is you don’t HAVE to go start to finish you can just jump). Amazing book. Highly recommend, there is also another book that goes with this book I have both and it really helps to go through both of them.

Reminds me of why I failed algebra (you have to attend the classes). This book explains all the rules that I missed by not being in class! As I am in my sixties the process is slow however the book is very helpful.

The Basic Math & Pre-Algebra Workbook For Dummies is a solid resource. The explanations are clear, and the topic summaries make it super easy to follow along and review. I attached a photo of the white mark on the cover it looks like there might’ve been a sticker there before. The crease down the middle is harder to see in the picture, but it’s there. Other than that, the content itself is excellent. Definitely recommend the book if you need a simple math refresher.

Explains with many examples different types of problems. Good for people that have little knowledge of math basics(like myself)
