A Review of Algebra

Designed as a compact refresher for senior‑year students, this guide tackles the algebra concepts that often slip away after the second‑year curriculum. It assumes learners still have their regular textbook nearby, using it only as a quick reference while encouraging independent problem‑solving. The pacing is built around two classroom periods a week, allowing the whole review to fit into a typical half‑year schedule.

The book is organized around concise outlines that list essential definitions, rules for multiplication and division, and systematic approaches to factoring, fractions, and simultaneous equations. Each page of problems represents a full day’s work, while the theory sections can be covered more rapidly. A wealth of examples, optional topics, and practice questions give teachers a ready‑made toolbox and students a clear path to re‑mastering core techniques.

Flexibility is built in: teachers can trim miscellaneous examples or college‑entrance test sections without losing continuity, making the text suitable for both classroom review and self‑guided study. By the end of the course, learners should feel confident tackling freshman‑level algebra and entrance examinations.
