McDougal Littell Pre-Algebra: Student Edition 2008

Great reference book to supplement your math reading with lots of helpful tips and explanations. However, there are no answers to the practice questions.

The schools do not provide textbooks to their students anymore which makes it incredibly difficult to attempt to help a child do their homework when there is NO examples or explanations. I ordered/rented this book so that I could help my 8th grader with his pre-algebra. It has been a minute since I have sat in a classroom!!The book is great. It has examples and practice problems. It transitions easily between chapters. It helps this momma who is NOT a math person to help my kid do his work. I grew up with McDougal textbooks so I know that they are good ones.I purchased the book used. It was not a ridiculous price. I did not want to purchase new since we won't use the book again when he is done with it. I appreciate used books - I DO wish that the option of renting was for this book. I would rather rent and return than to purchase and have another book sit on the bookshelf.

Arrived in excellent condition!

Bought this book because child kept forgetting to bring his book home.Sturdy cover, timeless concepts, good selection of homework problems. Arrived quickly and in excellent shape.The lessons are explained in clear and logical fashion. We have no problems following them. The pages are thin and are good quality. Child is rough on his books, but we have had no tears. This will last for years.McDougal Littell may have an e-book online as well. We had not checked at the time of the purchase.

I bought this for a second copy so my daughter (seventh grade) wouldn't have to carry hers back and forth. Her bag is so heavy already. I bought an inexpensive used one and it has served her well. I can't really comment about the material, but she did say she liked this book better than the Saxon one she had last year.
