Description:

The Learning Companyhas done something amazing with Grade Builder: Algebra 1. Besides that it offers a full year of Algebra, it includes an infinite number of practice problems, can be set to customize a student's algebra textbook, and is presented in a "teen-centric" way so that kids will understand the concepts and even have fun! Where WERE these people when I was in Mrs. Ratliff's 7th grade Algebra 1 class???

• 60 comprehensive lessons that cover a full year of Algebra 1.

• Two innovative games reinforce lessons.
• Real-life examples, visual and audio explanations.
• Self paced - no pressure to perform.

Technical Aspects:

Grade Builder: Algebra 1 installed quickly and ran with no glitches. The animated sequences ran smoothly, as did the audio. The product packaging does an excellent job of representing the software.

Report and Conclusions:

Wow! This title is one of The Learning Company's College Prep Series, and we were amazed (and thrilled) at the content. Whether your teen is having problems with Algebra or you're looking to help them find a fun way to master the information, Grade Builder: Algebra 1 is enjoyable as well as academically solid. The illustrations and clear explanations will dispel the mystery and dread surrounding this subject!
