Great way to review and summarize material. February 4, 2007
Delirium (St. Louis, MO USA)
I'm a first-year math teacher in high school and I use this book very often. It's a great way to summarize the material for a review in general and before a test. It's an essential tool for a quick reference because it puts all the rules on a subject together on one page. For example, a page "Common Forms of Linear Equations" lists 6 equations: Standard form, Slope-Intercept form, Point-Slope form along with equations for Vertical Line, Horizontal Line and Slope-Intercept form passing through origin. When we did the unit on linear functions, this was a great way to put all that we have learned together and have a flash card for easy reference.
I would definitely recommend this book.
