ADULTS can do ALGEBRA Elizabeth Rand

Need to learn math for your job?Trying to keep up with your kids?Did math in school and would like a refresher?Not a "math person" but have to teach math?Just always wished you could do math?This book is a step-by-step guide that will prepare you with the knowledge you need in order to do basic algebra (no matter how terrible you think you are at math!). You start out out working with basic numbers. And each chapter shows you how you probably already apply math skills in everyday life, and demonstrates that you probably just didn't know there were mathematical terms for what you may already know how to do. Once you have a different way of thinking about doing math, and the language to put a name to the math you are doing, the last step is to apply that to basic algebra. "Algebra" is only a name for using numbers in certain ways, and you've possibly been doing this too, without knowing it. By the end of this book you'll be doing algebra!
