Principles of Algebra 2 (Solutions Manual)

The Solutions Manual: Includes many extremely helpful grading note suggestions. Points out that there may be more than one legitimate way to solve a problem. As long as they have the right answer, that is okay. Tips on grading and calculator usage are included.

Step by step solutions are provided.

Notes are added that tell you what the student was instructed to do in that lesson.

This Solution Manual is a wonderful supplement to the Teacher Guide. This black and white text includes solutions for all worksheets, quizzes, and tests. Solutions include the answer, step-by-step instructions when indicated, and explanation of how/why equations are set up when indicated. The combination of the visual equations and the explanation make it easy for both student and teacher/parent to check the work and understand errors. The text is broken down with worksheets in order of how they are completed first, then a section with quizzes, and lastly a section of all the tests. This mimics how the Teacher Guide is set up, which makes finding the correct problem set easy. I was given an e-book copy of this book for free in return for my honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I used to love math in high school, but no math teacher could ever explain how to use Algebra in real life situations. This course shows the student that math is a real-life tool and not meaningless and boring equations and problems. The student will explore the blood pressure of giraffes and see how amazing God created giraffes. Also, the math behind hot air balloons and how men have utilized the consistencies God created to develop a useful device like hot air balloons. The special arrangement of seeds in a sunflower testifies God’s wisdom and care. This course makes math come alive. There are a lot of finance application examples guiding the student to be good stewards of money but above all to avoid the love of money and rather focus on investing in eternity.

The student text is colourful and lessons are presented very well with detailed explanations and illustrations. It all points to our Creator God, His consistent universe and how He consistently governs all things.

The student needs the following to complete this course: Principles of Algebra 2 Student Text which contains the presentations and explanations of concepts; Principles of Algebra 2 Teacher Guide which contains the worksheets, quizzes, and tests; and the Principles of Algebra 2 Solutions manual which contains step-by-step solutions and notes for the worksheets, quizzes and tests. There is an optional eCourse available through MasterBooksAcademy.com which provides more guidance and is helpful for visual and auditory learners (and Mom!).

I highly recommend this self-taught course for students who already completed an Algebra 1 course.

Principles of Algebra 2 Solutions Manual is a very helpful tool to have, especially if the parent is not confident in teaching Algebra. Each problem is worked out step-by-step, with the answer highlighted in gray to easily check answers. There are also grading guidelines to assist in grading fairly at this level of math, where the correct answer could be found in different ways. Together with the Algebra 2 Student Text and Teacher’s Guide, this is a comprehensive and well-designed curriculum.

This is a must have if you’re using Principles of Algebra 2. It breaks down the problem solving process, step-by-step, in order to help create a clear picture of how the problem is solved. In my opinion, this is helpful for a student who needs further reinforcement or clarification, a parent who is not extremely confident with algebra, or as a grading reference to ensure the student is grasping the concepts. It contains teaching suggestions and explanations of concepts utilized in the text. I like that it includes variations of appropriate answers (reduced fractions, etc.) when appropriate. The explanations on many of the problems are helpful in ensuring that your student has mastered the concepts. I received a digital copy of this book for free, in exchange for my honest review.
