THE ALGEBRA WORD PROBLEM TUTOR SERIES - LEARNING BY EXAMPLE

Accelerate Student’s Algebra Skills!

  • Improve problem-solving skills
  • Learn to solve problems step-by-step & line-by-line
  • Working example problems of increasing difficulty
  • Teaches how to read, extract the information & set up the problem for solution

The Algebra Word Problem Tutor teaches students the skills needed to master Algebra Word Problems. Word problems are frequently hard for students to master because you have to learn how to read them, extract the information out of the problem and how to set up the problem for solution - and there are usually many ways to do this. This series teaches by examples how to set up algebra word problems and solve them. Many of the skills presented in this series are used in other Math courses, such as Physics and Calculus where word problems are typically asked on exams.

The Algebra Word Problem Tutor Series is a complete 12 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail.

What sets this series apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem.

Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Algebra Word Problems.

This series is best used in order from Volume 1 through Volume 12.
