Algebra Success reviews the algebra concepts essential to success in ninth grade mathematics and science. This book should be used by incoming ninth graders to refresh their understanding and strengthen their Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 skills. The book includes a pre-test, post-test, numerous examples with step-by-step explanations, and an answer key. Each ninth grader is encouraged to invest at least 20 minutes a day for 20 days on Algebra Success . A student’s skill level (as measured by performance on the pre-test and post-test) may require an investment of additional time. The goal for each student must be to master the topics outlined below.
The philosophy of the mathematics department is for every student’s mathematics course to be a rigorous, challenging, and rewarding experience. We want each student to graduate from Bryn Mawr with a love and appreciation for mathematics and an understanding of it that will serve her throughout her education. Algebra Success is an excellent tool to ease the transition into Upper School and to ensure a productive ninth grade mathematics and science experience.
