PRE-ALGEBRA: Using Online Calculators & Converters

Online calculators and converters can help students prepare for math courses, or help them improve their understanding and grades if already struggling with these courses. This first book in the Automated Math Resources Series takes advantage of this. It provides a summary of pre-algebra topics: positive and negative numbers (integers, fractions and decimals); addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of these numbers; raising them to a power (exponents) and finding their roots; and how they can be expressed as variables and constants in mathematical expressions and equations. In addition to this summary (THE QUICK VERSION), each topic provides a direct link to an online calculator or converter that automatically solves associated problems and provides a step-by-step explanation for each solution. Those students who want even further assistance can click over to another section (THE BIGGER PICTURE) to view a more detailed discussion with additional examples. A useful adjunct to traditional schooling, homeschooling and self-study.
