Book Reviews of Algebra II For Dummies
Book Review: Excellent Reference but Too Hard for Struggling Students
Summary: 2 Stars
Obviously Ms. Sterling is very comfortable with her subject. But I found this book too wordy and only appropriate for stronger students (who usually don't need the help to begin with). There are hardly any visuals (except for graphs which don't really count) and there are no graphic organizers or other learning tools. There are simply more fun ways to teach some of this material (e.g. "See four terms? Think factor by grouping!") (This is probably being too picky, but the subscripts used to show reduced terms were so small as to be almost unreadable.)
I also thought the author was unnecessarily gloomy and lacking in enthusiasm. For example, finding extraneous roots and then realizing that they are extraneous is part of the student's job and is not a waste of time as I felt the author was implying.
Sorry, I am still looking for a solid Algebra 2 help book to recommend to my students.
