Collection: Learn By Doing Workbooks

<p>I believe students as young as elementary school can learn the basics of Algebra.  And if they can learn it, I think they should.  If a child successfully interacts with higher math at an early age, it gives them a jump on the ideas, fosters confidence, and lowers math anxiety. </p><p>This workbook is designed to help elementary students get an introduction to the key concepts of Algebra.  But it would be a helpful tool for any student who is not yet in Pre-Algebra.  Through the workbook, your student will self-discover the basics of solving equations, factoring, and relations.  All that the workbook requires is a mastery of the multiplication and division tables.</p><p></p>

<p>Lots of students struggle with Algebra.  And after a decade as a college lecturer, the reasons for the struggle vary.  But one thing is always true—the foundation must be repaired.  When students come into one of my college algebra courses and simply push ahead without doing the work of foundation repair, things rarely go well.  Determination is admirable, but when the foundation is not sound, the new ideas are little more than gibberish.  Attempting to memorize every type of problem simply doesn’t work.  There are too many ideas coming too quickly, and attempting to learn without understanding is a broken proposition. </p><p> </p><p>Fortunately, there is an answer.  Stop and repair the foundation.  In reality, it isn’t nearly as difficult or time consuming as students fear.  And that is where this workbook comes in.  For many years, I’ve been working to find the most efficient and effective ways to communicate Algebra.  For starters, lectures aren’t the answer.  Instead, I have created activities that help you through the concepts of Algebra one step at a time.  In the classroom, if you got stuck, I would come along side and give you the help that you need to keep going.  Here, if you are stuck, each activity includes a QR code which links to a video where I walk through the entire activity.   </p><p> </p><p>Whether your Algebra foundation just has a few cracks or if it needs major reconstruction, Learn by Doing: Algebra Essentials is the place to begin.  Stop trying to push through concepts that are meaningless.  Instead, stop and fix what’s broken, so that you can successfully begin building your way to higher mathematics.</p>

<p>Developed through a decade of college math instruction, Learn By Doing: PreCalculus has been built with a unique approach. Each activity is an interactive lesson designed to help the student self-discover the concepts of PreCalculus. Should the student get stuck, a QR code leads to a video where the author walks-through and explains each problem in the activity. And if further help is needed, a second QR code at the end of each lesson links to a traditional lecture for that material.</p><p>But Learn By Doing: PreCalculus is more than just an interactive workbook. It incorporates the principles of math education discovered in the college classroom. Math is a language that must be clearly translated for the student into English. And good math instruction must be "comprehensible" by showing students how the concepts relate to ideas from arithmetic which they already know and understand.</p><p>Structured to follow a popular, free PreCalculus textbook, this workbook can be used as your foundational instructional tool or as a tutoring companion.</p><p>It is time to try a different approach to learning mathematics. So, get engaged, and get learning!</p>

<p>Developed through a decade of college math instruction, Learn By Doing: Trigonometry has been built with a unique approach. Each activity is an interactive lesson designed to help the student self-discover the concepts of Trigonometry.
