It slowly brings you into Algebra without overwhelming and it keeps you entertained. Some of the jokes are a bit cheesy, but overall, it's really quite a funny book, for a math book, and I can't recommend it enough! My 13 year old loved it and wished she had gotten it earlier. She also loved the physics book!!
While homeschooling my granddaughter during the Covid-19 pandemic I bought this book to help with her math word problems because I can best figure them out using algebra. Mind you I am not a teacher so this book lays out all the fundamentals very well so that my 4th grader can understand them. Her curriculum at school has not introduced algebra but in order for me to teach her I needed this book because i am always thinking in terms of algebraic equations in helping her do her Saxon Math homework. Now she is getting the benefit of algebraic logic early. Thanks Mr. Gonick. I will search your titles for other topics of interest for her. Right now astro physics and astronomy is her interest.
My algebra-loving son adores this book. I do too. What an easy read.
The short bursts of learning and the delightful apt cartoons make this an easy way to learn (or relearn).
I got this book for our son as his love is comics and his weakness is in math. Math was never my subject either so I was hoping this would help us I the next years. I had to laugh to myself as I showed him this book and he objected to math and comics being used together. Incensed that he would not be fooled into liking math. We have some years for him to get used to it, as with his autism it may take him a year to like one of his new t-shirts before he will wear it from his closet.
My 8 year old son loves to read it. He finds it interesting because of the pictures and the explanations are simple
Very well organized and written. We used this book to introduce algebra to our 10-year old daughter and it worked quite well for her. It adds more information about each topic gradually and each new chapter uses what the previous chapter taught. Increasing from easy to more complex topics, "The Cartoon Guide To Algebra" is built upon in a very systematic and witty way. A very enjoyable book indeed.
Very interesting methods to tech algebra. Makes algebra fun to learn.
Two grandchildren taking Algebra. Both have been helped with the use of this book.
I am reading it with my grand child who loves Math and she is in 4 th grade and getting a little concept about algebra in a friendly fashion.
A very good book!
Un libro buenísimo para los que éramos malos en matemáticas y necesitamos una base, también muy bueno para adolescentes a los que les cuesta mucho entender las matemáticas, porque creo que la gran mayoría de los profesores de ciencias son malos profesores. En este cómic se explica muy claramente para que cualquiera con una inteligencia normal pueda entenderlo
From what I read seems really great!
Nice way to teach, I think si really effective.
Very elementary.
