First Math Review

First Math Review provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of math from middle school to early high school: fractions, decimals, percent, basic algebra and geometry. For students with superior backgrounds, First Math refreshes lessons taught, some of which were not mastered. For students with average backgrounds, First Math Review reintroduces what needs to be strongly grasped and provides the exercises, including plentiful remedial exercises, to that end.
At the beginning of each chapter, the results of a short diagnostic test informs students as to their proficiency in a topic. A strong performance precludes a chapter review, and a weak one, the need for one to master the topic taking advantage of the plentiful remedial exercise to that end. A post test informs the student if the goal of mastery of the top has been met.
As problem solving plays a prominent role in standardized tests, First Math Review provides extensive word problems in all topics. First Math Review, on the one hand serves as a text book for fundamentals, and on the other hand a test prep book invaluable for HSPT, SSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and even the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT.
