Master the fundamentals of linear equations, grow in mathematical thinking skills, gain proficiency with number sense, and understand how and why math works the way it does. MathWise Linear Equations will help teach and explain basic, as well as progressively advanced, graphing skills. The fun, comic-style format appeals to a wide range of students. Speech bubbles are used throughout to give hints and explanations while students are solving math problems.
MathWise Linear Equations starts with the basics of graphing and line slopes and progresses gradually to cover increasingly advanced topics such as solving for intercepts, Standard Form equations, Point Slope equations, linear inequalities, and systems of equations.
Tips and Tricks
Students have found the tips and tricks to be helpful and memorable, and they have also found that they add interest and excitement to their math studies.
Speech Bubbles with Teacher Insights
Speech bubbles are used to provide guidance, point out insights, or give helpful hints as students are solving math problems.? Students learn best by doing, and the instruction given in the speech bubbles is designed to (1) sharpen students powers of observation, (2) increase number sense, and (3) instruct in digestible chunks.
Simplicity of Instruction
Concepts are explained clearly and simply.? Every page (excluding review pages or quizzes) has a specific focus.? Most pages have generous amounts of white space to keep students focused. Movement is from the simple to the increasingly complex.
Step-By-Step Procedures
Students learn best when given explicit, step-by-step instruction. When several steps are involved, the steps are numbered.? This makes learning much more logical and memorable.
