DescriptionThe Algebra Word Problem Tutor is a 6 hour course spread over 2 DVD disks that will aid the student skills needed to master Algebra Word Problems.  Word problems are frequently hard for students to master because you have to learn how to extract the information out of the problem and decide how to proceed with finding the solution - and there are usually many ways to do this! This DVD course teaches by examples how to set up algebra word problems and solve them. It is applicable to any Algebra course, SAT, GRE, and other standardized tests.

This DVD contains essential material necessary to master how to solve word problems in Algebra.  In addition, the skills learned in this course will aid the student in more advanced areas of math and science.  Many of the skills presented in this DVD series are used in other Math courses, such as the Physics and Calculus where word problems are typically asked on exams.  Each topic in this DVD course is introduced by working example problems, beginning with the easier problems and gradually working the harder ones.  In this way the student immediately gains confidence in his or her abilities and improves homework and exam taking skills.
