Algebra 1
Algebra 1 practice from Bates Publishing.
Bates Math is guided Algebra 1 practice from First Course in Algebra. The tutor sees the problem, your attempt, and the step you missed.
Who Bates Math Algebra 1 is for.
Students working through high-school Algebra 1 who want practice that stays lined up with a real textbook — not a licensed question bank.
The course is a consumer product: you sign in with Google and work at your own pace. There is no teacher roster on this site.
Practice that starts in First Course in Algebra.
Every live problem in Bates Math comes from Bates Publishing's First Course in Algebra by Weeks & Adkins. The roadmap follows the book: expressions, fractions, word problems, graphs, and signed numbers.
Bates Math is the practice companion, not a replacement for the printed book or a teacher. The publisher page for the title is on batespub.com.
A tutor that already has the problem.
Ask Bates knows the item you are on and the answer you tried. You can start with the part that is unclear. Feedback is a study aid — not an official mark.
