Pre-Algebra Demystified

by Allan G. Bluman

Say goodbye to dry presentations, grueling formulas, and abstract theories that would put Einstein to sleep -- now there's an easier way to master the disciplines you really need to know. McGraw-Hill's Demystified Series teaches complex subjects in a unique, easy-to-absorb manner, and is perfect for users without formal training or unlimited time. They're also the most time-efficient, interestingly written "brush-ups" you can find. Organized as self-teaching guides, they come complete with key points, background information, questions at the end of each chapter, and even final exams. You'll be able to learn more in less time, evaluate your areas of strength and weakness and reinforce your knowledge and confidence. A self-teaching guide to basic arithmetic, covering whole numbers, fractions, percentages, ratio and proportion, basic algebra, basic geometry, basic statistics and probability.

[John · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a very poor book. Time and again, it gives you test problems for which it hasn't previously explained how to solve them. That isn't a problem if you already know this stuff, but if you do you're hardly likely to be reading a book like this. Basic Math and Pre-Algebra for Dummies Education Bundle With Workbook is vastly better.

A concise introduction to pre-algebra fundamentals. Pretty much covers everything that will enable the reader to successfully transition to college algebra and geometry.

Easy stuff for advanced learners. A great book for beginners.
The chapter about measurements (ch. 10) was useful.
Thank you!
