Title: Not enough practice questions.
Review: I purchased this book at our local bookstore, and I did ask for the answer key and received it.I was trying to use this book to teach my son Algebra. Examples on how to solve are given for each type of problems, but this book does not have enough practice questions. On average it has about 3 to 6 problems for different type of problems. For teaching someone who has never taken algebra, the best method to learn, imho, is to work many problems as possible. But having 3 to 6 questions, isn't enough to drill in the techniques for young students. This book might work for people who only needs a refresher. Other problem I felt with this book is that it did not address much in the basics, such as x square + x cube type problems. (X^2 + X^3 = X^5)Previously, I taught my daughter with Key to Algebra series. It worked out really well for her. I'm going back to Key to Algebra series for basics and more problems.Good examples, but not enough problems to solve. 2 stars.
