A complete Algebra curriculum by the end of eighth grade! This exciting new program, developed in cooperation with Education Development Center, Inc., makes mathematics accessible to more of your middle-school students. They will spend less time reviewing topics from previous grades and more time progressing carefully and successfully toward the completion of Algebra 1 by the end of grade 8. Informal-to-formal concept development, designed specifically for middle school students, ensures that students build necessary skills and develop conceptual understanding.
McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.
In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.
I tryed to give it a 2 but thought about it and didn't. Don't get me wrong- it's not that I hate math, it's just that IMPACT is NOT the best system for me. There are no explanations/study materials in the whole book!
