Excellent Book - No Question. June 30, 2006
27 out of 28 found this review helpful
Let's just say that I've been out of school for a while now and Algebra has never been my strong suit. However, I use math all the time in my job so I thought I'd try to learn easier ways of doing things.
I have 4 different Algebra books and none comes close to teaching the rules of Algebra better. I normally just get confused but after I got over the cartoonish layout of the book, I realized how much I was actually retaining. .
I normally throw books out the window once I get to negatives and fractions but this book really does make real world comparisons and common sense to make complicated facts easy to understand.

I am a gifted facilitator but that doesn't mean I am an expert in every subject area! This book helped me understand the logic of Algebra for the first time in my life! It helped me understand Algebra in a way that I could explain to my students and that made sense! My students enjoyed the little stories that helped them remember the rules of Algebra! This book saved me! It was a breakthrough for me and I give it the highest rating. Anyone who is over their head in trying to teach Algebra will find it a lifesaver.

I would recommend this book to anyone having difficulty with algebra. My son had always done well in math, but had trouble understanding his Algebra I class and was failing the tests. I heard Mr. Zaccaro speak at a conference and bought this book. I used the book to tutor my son and his test grades went from 60s to 90s. He finished the year with a solid B average and is now one of the top students in Algebra II and easily maintains an A average. He is even able to help other students, because Mr. Zaccaro's book gave him such a good foundation in the subject. As a teacher, I think this book succeeds because it is not only informative, but it presents the lessons in an interesting, kid-friendly way. I think it's an excellent tool for remediation; however, I also think it would be great for any child interested in learning algebra just for fun, before it is taught in school.
