"As a math teacher, I never found a book that presented rigorous math with excitement and humor, so I wrote one myself!" --Chris Matthews, author of The Dregg Disaster

solve equations

solve proportions

graph lines

plot points

factoring

two-way frequency tables

percents and basic data analysis

And much more!

The Dregg Disaster is an original and cleverly designed interactive story for students learning Algebra I. Read the story, make your choice, and solve a math problem to get your page number. Something fishy is going on at Dregg Corporation, the biggest employer in your town. When you find a missing wallet on the ground which includes a highly classified Dregg Corp key card, this might just be your chance to infiltrate Dregg Tower and figure out what the elusive Levi Dregg is up to once and for all. All four chapters include "Adventurer's Advice" to help students navigate their way through the workbook.
