Supplementary Books for Algebra I

These three books were picked to assist students in the 8th grade.  The books will be used to ease a student's transition into Algebra I.  Specifically, the books will be used in a unit that is introductory in nature and presents basic algebraic equations.  In addition, the books can be used throughout the Algebra I curriculum.  Overall, the books are suited for students with average ability in mathematics and the concepts are simple in nature.  For instance, Mystery Math, A First Book of Algebra is suited for students between 9-12 years of age.
