About this book :-
"Elementary Algebra: Equations and Graphs" by Katherine Yoshiwara is an introductory textbook designed to help students understand the basics of "elementary algebra" in a clear and approachable way. The book focuses on building strong foundations by explaining how numbers, variables, and equations work together. It is suitable for beginners and learners who want to strengthen their algebra skills step by step. A key feature of the book is its emphasis on "equations" and "graphs" as tools for understanding relationships between variables. Students learn how to write, solve, and interpret linear equations while using graphs to visualize solutions. This visual approach supports "conceptual learning" and helps students connect algebraic expressions to real-life situations. The book also encourages "problem solving" and critical thinking through practical examples and exercises. By using multiple representations—verbal, numerical, and graphical—it helps learners develop confidence and mathematical reasoning. Overall, "Elementary Algebra: Equations and Graphs" prepares students for higher-level math by strengthening their understanding of "functions" and algebraic thinking.
