Cracking the Texas End-of-Course Algebra I
bJohn Haumann/bhas taught Principles of Technology and Developmental Mathematics at St. Phillip’s College in San Antonio as an adjunct faculty member since 1991. He holds a Master of Science degree in Operations Management from the University of Arkansas and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kansas. As a Navy veteran, he has multiple years experience with underwater acoustics and oceanography, meteorology, and electronic countermeasures, as well as training trans-oceanic navigators to always find their way home.The Princeton Review realizes that acing the Algebra I exam is very different from getting straight As in school. TPR doesn’t try to teach students everything there is to know about algebra — only what they’ll need to know to score higher on this exam.iThere’s a big difference/i. InbCracking the Texas EOC: Algebra I/b, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers.brbrThis will be accomplished by teaching students how to:brEliminate answer choices using Process of Elimination and other techniquesbrEarn more points by Plugging In numbers on algebra problemsbrUse Backsolving to solve problems when they are unsure of the answerbrTest their knowledge with review questions for each algebra concept coveredbrMaster the math they need to know to score higher: algebraic expressions and equations, inequalities, graphing, and morebrPerfect their skills with practice questions for all material testedbrbr*This book includes 2 full-length simulated exams. All of TPR’s sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual EOC Algebra I exam, and every solution is fully explained.brbriContents Include:/ibrbrbPart I: Introduction/bbrAbout the Texas EOC and TAAS ExamsbrStructure and StrategiesbrbPart II: Subject Review/bbrThe Basics of Math and AlgebrabrSimplifying Algebraic ExpressionsbrSolving Algebraic Eq?รจ
