Holt Algebra 1, Teacher's Edition, Texas Edition, 9780030416590, 0030416590, 2007

Here's what I like about the Holt textbooks in general (as well as this one in particular):1. Pretty widespread adoption. As a teacher and tutor, I need books that have problems and/or example types that my students are familiar with. Holt's in enough classrooms (at least in CA) that a lot of students are already familiar with their general layout/format.2. Nice examples -- they have a nice spread of examples that are worked out through each chapter, with pretty detailed explanations (why did they choose these numbers as the factors? Why wouldn't something else work, etc)3. Clearly laid out practice that has a mix of word, multiple choice and straight-forward, variables-only/skills-only.So, why isn't this a 5-star review?While I like Holt better than the Saxons of the world (where they split every concept into a "lesson" and are harder to navigate, I lie the McDogall/Littel Algebra books a little better because I think they provide more word problems, as well as larger practice sections (which don't HAVE to be assigned, but which are good as problem banks for students struggling with a particular concept).

I would give 5 stars for the product I recieved for less money but they gave me the Texas Edition. The information did not say Texas edition. I know there is minor differences but my OCD don't like the picture and state standard testing differences from the Teacher's Edition and the Student edition.

This book not only provides the answers to the student textbook, it does a good job of explaining how the answers are reached. And I really appreciate the online help provided by Holt as well. It is worth every cent to have the Teacher's edition along with the regular text unless you excel at math.

Great buy for homeschool

I thought I was receiving the 2007 edition instead it is 1986. They need to make clear what year and or edition it is. Now I have a book that is of no use to me.

A lifesaver if you are trying to tutor your child or grandchild.

Good book , enjoyed using it for tutoring

Exactly what I needed, in good condition.
