The Sabouri brothers of Teaching Textbooks crack me up!

They wrote my Algebra 2... but they made all the hard stuff so funny!

I can hardly go through a lesson without a giggle or two!

Examples:

Perfectionist anchorman #1 straightens his tie once every 5 seconds.

Perfectionist anchorman #2 striahtens his tie once every 16 seconds.

Together, how many seconds will it take them to straighten their ties 42 times?

... hee hee! Oh, here's my mom's personal favorite...

The ratio of those that threw a hissy fit to those who pitched a conniption was 11 to 14.

If 253 people threw a hissie fit, how many people pitched a cinniption?

Even though there are some tough equations before the word problem,

it's funny the way they word it! I like...

Somehow the bookstore was able to sell 2 copies of its worst seller,

Algebra for the Holidays!, at the full price.

They then had to sell the remaining 3 copies at one fourth the price just to get rid of them.

If the bookstore's total sales for this book

(discounted and full-priced versions combined) were $55,

what did the book sell for at full price?

I could  go on and on 'till I named every problem in the book,

but I'll stop there!

I can't help but mention though,

that they tend to use hilarious names and situations,

like 'Sir William Wampum' and 'Mrs.Mary Moolah'

have interesting stocks and bonds situations.

Even though I'll miss my Algebra 2 in that way,

I'm sure their Geometry will crack me up too!!!

But if I had to recommend Algebra 2 to anyone,

I'd definately say "A Teaching Textbook".

Oh! I only have 7 more lessons and I'm done !!!!

Although, I'm hoping to start Chemistry next week...

so I suppose I can welcome Algebra back !

Oh well, the Algebra's worth the Chemistry!
