  • Practice problems in every chapter — with explanations and solutions
  • A diagnostic pretest to assess your current skills
  • A full-length exam that adapts to your skill level


Beginning with the rules for exponents and operations involving polynomials, this workbook ventures into quadratic equations, function transformations, rational root theorem, and more. You'll explore factoring by grouping, graphing, complex numbers, and hyperbola, plus details about
  • Solving exponential and logarithmic equations
  • Using a graphing calculator to graph lines and polynomials
  • Dealing with story problems using systems of equations

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Algebra II
The content of this book is good. Algebra II contains
more complex algebraic problems, complex numbers,
some linear algebra and systems of linear equations.
The approaches to problem solving are very abbreviated
and there may be some editorial errors. Otherwise,
the book is a fair representation of the material of the
course. Optimally, this book should be utilized alongside
the recommended text in Algebra II.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - LOTS!!! of Errors
I am using this book right now to bone up on some algebra. The book is good for teaching processes. It does however, have editorial problems on nearly every single page. They are not subtle either. One problem has an = sign where there should be a -. I have found several problems where the author inserts a + sign when there should be a - sign, and then proceeds with the problem...thus giving a wrong answer. It is nto a matter of me not knowing what I am doing either. I will vex and vex over a problem ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Review
I used this book to study for my middle school Praxis (20069) and this was a great help



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great review book, though not very challenging.
I purchased this book as a review book for one of my students (who happens to be in Calculus, interestingly enough). The pre-test is a great diagnostic tool, and the book does cover all the topics in Algebra II that I would expect it to. However, I feel that the material is a little on the easy side for Algebra II. For a basic math education, this will do it. But for extra practice or advanced studies, I would get something more challenging. Recommended as a review/practice/study book.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - many errors ruin an otherwise solid review book
This book provides a ton of good examples and solutions to help you master the subject matter. However, there are so many errors in the examples and problem sets, that you'll pull your hair out wondering if you're wrong or if the book's wrong (most likely, the book is wrong). No errata section on the website either to clarify.
