This student workbook is designed as the sixth step to learning Algebra. The key to teaching Algebra successfully is to have a curriculum that is as flexible as possible. A child's learning capabilities grow and develop constantly so a text that fits perfectly at the start of the school year might not work after a few months. This curriculum is designed to accommodate the growing and changing maturity of a child throughout the year. Algebra Can Be Easy for Anyone to Teach Any Child Each book in the series is available as both a teacher's guide and a student workbook for use in a tutoring group, small class, or homeschool. No additional texts are needed. Parents with any educational background will be equipped to teach the subject using the teacher's guide as a resource. Designed for Gifted, 2e, Special Education, and Everything Between Different ways of thinking about and explaining each lesson are included in the teacher's guide to accommodate children who are gifted, or dyslexic, or prefer nearly any learning style. Flexible and Friendly Individual worksheets work as a stand-alone curriculum, or as reinforcement and supplemental practice. This book is the result of years of teaching children, teens, and adults. Students will learn why algebra works, not just how to use it. Topics Learned in This Book This, the sixth in the Doodles Do Algebra™ series is focused on solving simple equations.
