[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!
