6th Grade Math Teacher Loves This Resource,
February 14, 2000 Cynthia Beasley (Slidell, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CliffsQuickReview Basic Math and Pre-Algebra (Paperback)
I teach both average and honors math to typical 6th grade students. I use the Cliffs Quick Review for Basic Math and Pre-Algebra in my classroom and encourage my students to purchase a copy for themselves. I find it to be a usable source for self study and review. The language and examples are useful and simple for students and parents to understand. I also have several other Cliffs Quick Review titles for my own children. My children use the Quick Reviews for Algebra I & II, Geometry, Chemistry, and Biology. I am so pleased with the format of these books that I will purchase any of the other titles relevant to high school and college study.

A Must for Those Looking for A Quick Math Refresher Course,
December 1, 2004 Erika Sorocco (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Math and Pre-Algebra (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
For a college entrance requirement, I had to take a math assessment that I was a bit nervous about, seeing as how I haven't really done any math in a few months. However, when I found CLIFFS QUICKREVIEW: BASIC MATH AND PRE-ALGEBRA, my nervousness quickly faded. This book features every bit of "need to know" basic math and pre-algebra in a nutshell, instead of going on and on for pages, doing nothing more than confusing you. The format is great, and offers practice questions and answers, as well as easy ways to remember how to solve each problem. If you are looking for a quick refresher course in basic math and pre-algebra, this is the one book that you need.

If you have a hard time in algebra or pre-algebra, you should buy this book. To get to perform the most odd looking problems it takes basic math and pre algebra, so i suggest this as a good book
