This book was designed to be a course which prepares students for the STEM careers of their dreams. With that being said, Soft Algebra helps any student to build a solid foundation in problem solving for life—that includes students with non-STEM career plans, and those who feel lost when math involves letters. Soft Algebra softens the barriers between arithmetic, problem-solving, and algebra by teaching algebraic concepts on an intuitive level.
Many Soft Algebra students participate in AMC, MATHCOUNTS, and other math competitions.
Soft Algebra roughly matches the material of a 7th grade math curriculum in the U.S.A. Actually, this course is appropriate for ages 5-125; every student’s journey is unique! The most advanced students supplement their studies using Soft Algebra PLUS.
Soft Algebra students learn dozens of problem-solving strategies—they organize information and design models, solve problems with ratios and rates of change, work with radicals and geometric shapes, deal with proportions and percentages. Throughout all these topics students use conceptual understanding to solve problems rather than a set of memorized "rules of math”.
Soft Algebra is part of EzraMath™, a comprehensive math program which integrates mathematics education with developing intelligent thinking through active problem solving. REAL RESULTS:
Soft Algebra has helped students drastically increase their problem-solving abilities and develop interest in math-based fields; these students have become Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Startup Founders, Physicists, Computer Scientists, and more. SIMULATED CONTEXT LEARNING:
Soft Algebra teaches problem solving in context. Sometimes, students must use the Internet in order to solve a story problem: find a statistical connection between height and age of people, analyze how gold prices change with time, or determine the average salinities of agricultural vs. potable water. CONTENT SUMMARY:
Soft Algebra is available as a single full color hardcover textbook or a two-volume black-and-white softcover set. Soft Algebra course is supplemented by FIVE WORKBOOKS and a TEACHER’S MANUAL with detailed solutions. Soft Algebra contains over 800 unique problems and exercises.
PARTS A-B of SOFT ALGEBRA cover: strategies for problem comprehension radicals, set notation, and substitution cartesian graphing for linear, quadratic, and cubic curves, as well as various other functions and non-functions
PARTS C-D cover: properties of matter, measurable attributes, SI and customary units, unit conversion rate of change, percentage, proportions, and ratios use of auxiliary elements in geometry problems using visual models rather than algebraic equations
PART E covers: formal mathematical approaches (properties of exponents and properties of equality) creating and solving equations and systems
Advanced students supplement their studies with SOFT ALGEBRA PLUS, which covers: models for problems with patterns additional problem-solving techniques strategies for improving creative thinking, and much more!
Soft Algebra PLUS contains 200 additional problems and exercises.
