Get Ready for Algebra 1: A Catch-Up Workbook – Printed Book on Amazon

Get Ready for Algebra 1 is a printed catch-up workbook for students heading into Algebra 1, already in it, or reviewing over the summer.

Students who struggle in Algebra 1 usually got lost a year or two earlier: a negative sign, a distributive property step, a slope that never made sense. This workbook goes back for those skills one at a time, so students walk into Algebra 1 with the foundation it expects.

It’s sold on Amazon, so you or your families can order it and have it shipped.

How it works

Each section opens with a short pre-assessment. Students who get it right skip ahead. Students who miss problems work through the pages that follow, with notes, practice and error analysis, then take a post-assessment to confirm the skill.

What’s included

• Pre-assessments that show where to start
• Notes with every step worked out
• Practice for each skill
• Error analysis: find the mistake, explain it, fix it
• Post-assessments and a mixed-review final check

Skills covered
