Highlights of this book
- 21 chapters, from “Units, Quantities and Modeling” to “Graphs as Solution Sets, Linear-Quadratic Systems and Exponential Expressions”
- A Key facts box at the start of every chapter
- Diagrams with captions and numbered steps for each method
The book follows the order in which Algebra 1 topics are usually taught: it opens with units, quantities and modeling and closes with graphs as solution sets, linear-quadratic systems and exponential expressions. Each chapter fits on a few pages and lists the Common Core codes it covers, which makes it easy to match with the unit your child is studying in class.
Explanations are written as answers to real questions (“How do you…?”, “What is…?”), with a labeled figure whenever a picture helps more than a sentence. The table of contents is clickable, and bookmarks let you jump to any chapter on screen.
Who is it for?
For a ninth grader, or any student taking Algebra 1, and for the parents, tutors and homeschooling families who work with them.

How to use it in four steps
Preview
Read the Key facts box before the lesson is taught in class.
Read
Go through each section slowly and redraw the diagrams on scratch paper.
Explain
Ask your child to explain one key fact in their own words.
Practice
Move on to the worksheets of the same chapter while the lesson is fresh.
Questions from parents
How many chapters are in the Algebra 1 lessons book?
21 chapters on 88 pages, each with its Common Core codes.
Are there exercises in this book?
The lessons explain and show examples. For practice, the Algebra 1 Math Worksheets with Answer Keys book follows the same chapters, with an answer key.
Does it replace the school textbook?
It complements it: use it at home to review, practice or get ahead, whatever textbook the teacher uses.
Do I need the other two books of the grade?
No, each book works on its own. Together, the lessons, worksheets and tests of Algebra 1 cover the three steps: understand, practice, check.
How is the book delivered?
Nothing is shipped: as soon as PayPal confirms the payment, your download page opens, and the link is also sent by email.
