Superb. Had this book been my first contact with Mathematics, I would not need it now.

Do you have a student preparing to start Algebra and need help in helping them with their homework? Perhaps you are a student yourself and need a refresher course to get through your college math class. If so then Pre-Algebra Essentials by Mark Zegarelli is the book for you.
Designed to cover the essentials of Algebra and Algebraic expressions, Zegarelli walks us through the process with clear explanations and illustrations.
The book can be read straight through or used as a reference guide for specific areas of math.This has been a great aid in me completing my math class and will be placed on my reference shelf to be used again and again.
I would gladly recommend this for parents and students alike.

I did not read this cover to cover, but have been using it as a guide to help me through other maths books. It's good, but not as good as a teacher! It's probably the next best thing.

Everything you need to know before you start Algebra!

It was an informational book and is very interesting. It is very factful.
