CliffsNotes Algebra II Practice Pack (Cliffnotes)

I bought this book for my 5th grader after a bit of research and comparing many books on this topic. I was looking for a book that wasn't too overwhelming for her with 1000+ pages and tons of problems. In less than 250 pages, this book introduces nearly all Algebra 2 topics (no Trigonometry covered) in a very simple manner and has a reasonable number of exercise problems to internalize the concepts. This is NOT an advanced Algebra 2 book but a great resource as a quick first Algebra 2 course. My daughter was able to finish the book in 3 weeks, averaging around 6-8 hours a week. What I also really like is the accompanying CD that has ~500 problems (difficulty level mostly low, some medium) organized by chapters for extra practice and she found them very good for revision. Highly recommend this book to familiarize with Algebra 2 concepts quickly before moving on to a textbook such as Larson's.

Tutoring a junior high school student, brought grade up from D to A.

Very good. But it lacks some important things like discontinuities, odd-even functions, Pascal's triangle, and a few other things which are actually tested in the authors same 1,001 Algebra 2 for Dummies book. Anyway, its got very good, clear explanations of all ideas along with clear example problems. So I still highly recommend it for review or self study.

Really does well to explain the topics presented in the book. The order is a bit confusing and might have left one or two things out, I don't remember which, but it helped me to not feel like everything in class was going over my head.

My daughter loved this book, it really helped with step by step explanations

CliffsNotes Algebra II Practice Pack 2010 edition by Mary Jane Sterling is a model of how a Mathematics textbook should be put out ! Problems worked out step by step, attention is drawn on characteristic details, the solutions are commented upon. Nothing is left to guessing.Pre-test and Post-test questions with comments on the answers.I had no hesitation in giving a 5-star. Great !

This book is worth the money. It has a CD. CliffsNote books are very easy to use and they are very clear and concise.

This book really helped my daughter. She was struggling with Algebra II in high school.
