Описание: AUTHOR Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.
PRACTICE This is a practice workbook geared toward practicing problem-solving skills. As such, it consists of worksheets with practice problems in the spirit of old-fashioned practice sheets. This is suitable for students who need to practice basic skills, and is effective for many students. It is not one of the modern math textbooks that are designed to entertain bored students.
EXAMPLES The book begins with a concise explanation of the concepts with some examples to serve as a guide.
ANSWERS An answer section at the back provides a complete answer key. It's important for students to practice solving problems correctly, otherwise they will practice their mistakes. Students, parents, or teachers should use the answer key to help students check their answers.
CONTENTS This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency in their conversions between fractions, decimals, and percentages by offering ample practice. This book is conveniently divided up into five parts such that students can focus on one arithmetic operation at a time:
Converting from fractions to decimals and percents.
Converting from decimals to fractions and percents.
Converting from percents to fractions and decimals.
Converting fractions into repeating decimals and percents.
Converting repeating decimals into fractions and percents.
This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.
An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook.
PHOTOCOPIES The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.
SCORING Kids are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.

Part 1 reviews division facts with single-digit divisor and quotient since swift knowledge of these is critical toward long division mastery.
Part 2 is limited to single-digit divisors. This way students are not challenged with too much too soon.
Part 3 focuses on double-digit divisors.
Parts 4 and 5 provide practice with remainders.
Part 6 features a variety of multi-digit long division problems with and without remainders.
An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook.
A multiplication table is provided to help students who are just learning their division facts.

DESCRIPTION: This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency in their arithmetic with negative numbers by offering ample practice. This book is conveniently divided up into four parts - one for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In this way, students can focus on one arithmetic operation at a time.
EXAMPLES: Each part begins with a concise set of instructions and a couple of examples to serve as a guide.
ANSWERS: Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.
PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.

WHAT TO EXPECT: This is a workbook designed to offer plenty of practice with essential skills. It is not a textbook designed to teach trigonometry, but a workbook designed to supplement a student's instruction in trigonometry. Examples and a brief description of the concepts are included to serve as a quick refresher and a guide. If you need more instruction, you should use this workbook in combination with a textbook. The last chapter involves applications of trig identities, which is a challenging topic that will mostly interest more advanced students. A few chapters are intended to help students memorize the trig functions of common angles like 30, 150, or 315 degrees, which will be especially useful for students who may take exams without a calculator (that's the case with the MCAT and many math and science courses). There may be more practice than many students need, which is much better than having too little practice. Any extra pages may be helpful for teachers or parents with multiple children.
DESCRIPTION: This Trigonometry Essentials Practice Workbook with Answers provides ample practice for developing fluency in very fundamental trigonometry skills. Every problem can be answered without a calculator, which is very helpful for students who aren't allowed to use a calculator. This is the case in some trig and physics courses, as well as some standardized exams (like the MCAT).
CONTENTS: This workbook is conveniently divided up into 11 chapters so that students can focus on one trigonometry skill at a time. Skills include the following:
converting between degrees and radians;
expressing sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent as fractions by looking at right triangles;
solving for unknown sides and angles in 45 -45 -90 and 30 -60 -90 right triangles;
determining the sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent of multiples of 30 and 45 up to 360 (working with both degrees and radians);
practice finding the reference angle for angles in Quadrants II, III, and IV;
finding the inverse trig functions;
applying the law of sines and the law of cosines to solve for unknown sides and angles in acute and obtuse triangles;
solving problems with trig identities (like the angle sum and difference formulas);
and solving algebraic equations that feature basic trig functions.
EXAMPLES: Each section begins with a few pages of instructions for how to solve the problems followed by some examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until students are able to solve the problems independently.
ANSWERS: Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes.
PHOTOCOPIES: The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice.
