Overview

<p>Prealgebra prepares students for the rigors of algebra and also teaches students problem-solving techniques to prepare them for prestigious middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, and the AMC 8.</p> <p>Topics covered in the book include the properties of arithmetic, exponents, primes and divisors, fractions, equations and inequalities, decimals, ratios and proportions, unit conversions and rates, percents, square roots, basic geometry (angles, perimeter, area, triangles, and quadrilaterals), statistics, counting and probability, and more!</p> <p>The text is structured to inspire the reader to explore and develop new ideas. Each section starts with problems, giving the student a chance to solve them without help before proceeding. The text then includes solutions to these problems, through which algebraic techniques are taught. Important facts and powerful problem solving approaches are highlighted throughout the text. In addition to the instructional material, the book contains well over 1000 problems. The solutions manual contains full solutions to all of the problems, not just answers.</p> <p>This book can serve as a complete Prealgebra course.</p> <p>Our site includes a free innovative online learning system, <a href="http://artofproblemsolving.com/alcumus/">Alcumus</a>, and a free <a href="http://artofproblemsolving.com/videos/prealgebra">collection of videos</a>, both aligned to this textbook.
