E.How to Study Mathematics

Area pages  represent an effort to follow and understand the objectives of the 1997-2005, the prior reform, and the text books required and used 1997-2005. In retrospect, the objectives and texts in question are too incoherent, too full of nonsense, for rational comprehension and for service as a base for the current reform.    A farce is a farce, is a farce

Book Reviews for mathematics 116

The MEQ approved the following textbooks

  1. Math In Context 7, Ebos, F. et al., Nelson Canada Limited, 1992
  2. MathPlus 7, Warren, M. et al. Harcourt Brace & Company Canada, Ltd, 1994
  3. Mathpower Seven, Knill, G. et al. McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited1993
I used Mathpower in 2002 and do not remember seeing any errors in it.  I have a copy of the first to review. The Mathpower reproducible exercises could be handed-out for self-instruction.

Review: for Math In Context 7, Ebos, F. et al., Nelson Canada Limited, 1992.

This work covers topics, one at a time, and one after another, with chapter grouping related topics together. It follow the instructional method that puts explanations and examples before exercises or activities to check and develop concepts and computational skills. A student who missed a week or two of class could catch up by following this textbook alone or with help. The text appears to be self-contained.  I have no complaints about the English prose in this work. This 480 page work appears to be self-contained.  There is a 511 page teacher guide which I have not seen.  

Questions:

Are there are more MEQ approved texts for this course? Given the current reform, is the MEQ approval still necessary for texts used with mathematics 116?
