Welcome to the Homeschooler's Elementary Algebra. This course is designed to expand the basic concepts of Beginning Algebra and apply them to graphing on the xy-plane, problems involving polynomials, and solving quadratic equations. It is recommended for students in Grade 8 or above who have acquired the objectives of Begining Algebra. This is the perfect material for creating a solid background for courses in Liberal Arts mathematics or proceeding on a track toward other Algebras and higher mathematics.

The instruction provided is complete in every way. Every teaching objective is fully presented.

• Explanations are complete.
• Practice problems involve the student in working through each procedure.
• An email mentor is available 24/7 to answer any math questions or provide advice.
• A self-testing program guarantees accurate appraisals of the level of mastery for the material.

At the same time, the student is always informed of the objectives to be learned and how they fit with previous material.

• Chapter and unit titles are descriptive. They provide excellent clues to the objectives they contain.
• Each chapter begins with a Preview which is a list of sample problems. These problems show by example the types of skills and level of mastery needed. Each problem in the Preview is accompanied by a notation showing the unit in the Chapter where it is completely taught.

We, the publisher, will guarantee the high quality of the instruction here. Success in gaining these Algebra skills depends on the student making wise decisions about the learning that occurs. Maintain high standards and that level of achievement will be achieved. When unexpected difficulties are encountered, use the email Mentor to overcome such hurdles. You are guaranteed a reply to your request within 24 hours. There are two ways for you to contact your mentor:

1. E-mail. Your Mentor's cyberspace address is: MathMentor@hhpublishing.com. When sending an e-mail request it is helpful to include:

• If possible, describe the difficulty. If this is not possible, do not hesitate to ask because other information is likely to be sufficient for the Mentor to provide a satisfactory response.
• Give the title of the course (the Mentor receives request from five other courses).
• State the chapter, unit, and frame where the difficulty was encountered.

2. FAX. Your Mentor's FAX number is: (727) 442-2195. You can also use the FAX to send a request for help. If so, include the same information as needed for e-mail.

Use the web site for your instruction or the textbook. The material and quality of instruction are nearly identical. Some students prefer a book. Others like the web site. Some work back and forth between the two. Whatever works best is the rule to follow.
