PRODUCT SUMMARY
The "power" of algebra. What does that mean? Students will discover how algebra provides a way to organize patterns and represent real-life scenarios as well as abstract ones so that they can think about any situation. See how algebraic expressions can be a combination of variables, constants, coefficients and operator symbols, and learn how to write, simplify and evaluate these expressions by combining like terms and applying the order of operations. Join our hosts as they tackle problems in the world around them, help students to avoid common pitfalls such as treating a variable like a label and see how they use the Properties of Equality to isolate the variable and solve a simple equation. Part of the multivolume Algebra for Students DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.

"Beginning algebra students are often overwhelmed by the number of new concepts that must be grasped in order to understand this complex branch of mathematics. Algebra for Students is a 10-volume series that attempts to illustrate how algebra works by translating symbols, vocabulary, and algebraic expressions into easy-to-understand real-life scenarios. In Analyzing Inequalities, two engaging hosts use the hypothetical situation of buying concert tickets (with those annoying service charges) to generate algebra problems related to inequalities (“more than,” “less than,” “in between,” etc.). Each equation or graph is explained in detail with clear illustrations and animated graphics, while common mistakes are also covered. Other titles in the series include: Exponential Functions, Functions & Relations, Linear Equations & Slope, Patterns & Formulas, Polynomials, The Pythagorean Theorem & Right Triangles, Quadratic Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, and Variables, Expressions & Equations. Highly recommended.
