PRE-ALGEBRA Using Online Calculators & Converters

PRE-ALGEBRA Using Online Calculators & Converters is the first publication in the Automated Math Resources Series by Louis Lenert. This series is developed around the fact that online resources exist to automatically solve any mathematical operation with a few data entries and the click of a button. The e-text format provides a simple overview of each topic (THE QUICK VERSION) along with a set of exercises and a direct link to the URL that will solve the problem. The user who wants a deeper understanding of the topic can click over to THE BIGGER PICTURE, which describes the topic/process in greater detail, then allows practice solving these problems without assistance and uses the links to appropriate URLs to verify the answers. Either way, the user gains direct knowledge of available online resources that professionals use to solve their math problems once they leave the academic environment.

This Pre-Algebra e-text provides a complete coverage of the real number system integers, decimals and fractions, positive and negative along with the basic algebraic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, powers and roots. It then transitions from the mathematics of the real number system to the ¿universal¿ language of algebra: the use of literal quantities and symbols, variables, expressions and equations.

This resource can be used in the conventional textbook manner going from topic to topic in a sequential learning fashion or to independently review any standalone topic in any desired order. It can be used as a self-teaching or homeschooling resource, as a supplemental adjunct to another text or other classroom materials, or to help a harried parent assist a struggling student. It is written in an easy-to-understand ¿user friendly¿ manner that can be useful at middle school, high school and early college levels.In addition to the material in this e-text, the accessed URLs not only solve the problem, they provide a step-by-step explanation, supporting further learning.
