    book recommendation
    hi!

    i'm tutoring somebody in the 8th grade.

    and we're planning to look into some 9-10th grade math..

    could somebody recommend a book we can work on?

    i personally worked on

    Mathematics: The Core Course for A-Level and Further Pure Maths from Bostock/Chandler.

    But this would be far too hard for him..

    Does anybody have some good suggestions?
    (it doesn't matter if its for A-level or for the American school curriculum)

    Thanks in advnce~

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    ...That's pretty good? Dunno if it's the right level, but it's a very good, clear book.

    If he is at A-Level/AP level then surely a book for an A-Level course/AP course would be appropriate? Depends what kind of thing at that level...
