Jacob’s Elementary Algebra

A Note from Katherine: I’ve always had a high regard for Jacob’s high school math series, and was excited when I saw they were being reprinted. I love how this program incorporates history and teaches the student to use math in problem-solving situations.

I recently produced a video eCourse to go alongside the program, which makes it the perfect follow-on to the Principles of Mathematics program. The eCourse (sold separately) includes a custom schedule that makes sure students review concepts without having to solve every problem in the book (the book includes a lot more than most students need), presents the lessons from a biblical worldview, offers helpful pointers, and more.

• The Student Book contains streamlined lesson presentations and includes the problems to solve. Answers to some of the problems are in the back of the book, with answers to all of the others (along with solutions) in the solutions manual. View Sample.
• The Teacher Guide provides a detailed schedule, perforated worksheets featuring separate problems from those included in the Student Book, tests, and test answer keys. View Sample.
• Solutions Manual helps the student with understanding the answers to all of the problems. View Sample.

I used Principles of Mathematics. Will it be easy to transition to the Jacob’s program?
Students who’ve finished Book 2 of Principles of Mathematics should be ready to begin Jacob’s Algebra. Those who purchase the ecourse Katherine (author of Principles of Mathematics) put together will have an adapted schedule (the book includes a lot more than most students need), as well as continue to have Katherine’s teaching.
