What do you think about a math book with only examples ? Please read below for additional details ?

• I have been teaching math for about 4 years. Students in my algebra class have informed me that the textbooks do not have enough examples and lack detail. I am currently working on an example book just for ALGEBRA. The idea is to have a book where different type of problems are solved. I do plan on marketing this book for teachers, students as well home-schoolers. This book will provide students with detailed examples at different degrees of difficulty. I realize there are some books out there such as Schaum's outlines, but they leave out some important examples and are sometimes not detailed enough. It should not be mistaken for a textbook, but rather an example book to be used along with the required textbook. It is similar to what they have in India and China. I would like to hear from some of you and what you think. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you. Here is a sample: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3785899/combiningliketerms

• Answer:

  It looks very helpful so far. My only concern is that on the harder concepts the examples would not be enough. Maybe if you had a short section explaining the skill in simpler terms before the examples. More like a re-iteration than anything else.
