Math Resource Guides

 I don’t teach math; my husband, Rob, does.  He does not like most tech—except spreadsheets.  In another life I taught in both private and public schools.  The textbook companies give teachers loads of extra resource materials. We had a closet full of these collecting dust.  Now older editions are online.   Here is an example, Chapter 1 Resource Masters for Glencoe’s Algebra I textbook.  There are quizzes and answer keys.  These resource guides abound.  (See screenshot below.). One caveat.  Frequently, the resource guides are NOT well edited.  Sometimes the answer key is incorrect.  These guides are useful if your child needs more practice in a specific math topic.  The guides have a table of contents with the names for each math topic. My husband, Rob, was confused.  Each chapter has roughly 100 pages of resources.  Really.  There are also ‘homework practice workbooks’.  Happily, all of the chapters’ homework practice problems are in one teacher source.  The number of workbooks also abound. (See screenshot below.)  Here is loads of extra practice when your child just isn’t getting a math topic.
