✦ Synopsis

This is a great resource for supplemental help in Algebra II. As a parent and teacher, I'm using it, myself, to hone my knowledge of Algebraic concepts I've forgotten. More helpful than the student text. I love the way it breaks down a problem and shows step-by-step instructions, along w/ the correct answer.
