Book 3 - Basic Math of Algebra

Purchasing Information

(To teach, you will need one student workbook for each child, and a teacher edition for you.)

This third workbook in the Doodles Do Algebra™ curriculum begins with evaluating equations and then covers the basic mathematical operations within algebra: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of monomials and polynomials. This includes long division of polynomials, something we call the long division waltz.

It will be much easier for your child if you begin with the first workbook and progress through the complete curriculum, however if you use the material in an individual workbook as a way to “brush up” or focus on a specific topic, the material is equally useful.

  • Evaluating equations
  • Writing equations
  • Addition and subtraction of monomials
  • Monomial subtraction as word problems
  • Multiplication of monomials
  • Distributive Property
  • Regrouping
  • Introduction to factoring
  • Division of monomials
  • Addition and subtraction of polynomials
  • Polynomial multiplication
  • Polynomial division
  • Long division of polynomials

This third book in the Doodles Do Algebra™ series teaches your child how to evaluate equations followed by a comprehensive tour through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of monomials and polynomials, including long division of polynomials. This leads the way towards factoring and fractions, followed by learning to solve simple equations in a problem. Then we move on through the subject and your child will forever understand why you learn algebra and why it is used.

This curriculum is designed to accommodate the growing and changing maturity of a child throughout the year. In order to teach a child with this curriculum, a parent needs one copy of the Teacher Edition and one copy of the Student Workbook for each child.
