| erica meltzer books: PWN the SAT: Math Guide Mike McClenathan, 2016-02-17 PWN is back, and better than ever. The PWN the SAT Math Guide was created to help ambitious, highly motivated kids maximize their SAT math scores. Do you crave a higher score? Are you willing to do a little hard work to achieve it? Good. I knew I liked you. Read this book from beginning to end, with a pencil in hand and a calculator and an Official SAT Study Guide by your side. When you’re done, you’ll be able to approach the SAT with confidence—very few questions will surprise you, and even fewer will be able to withstand your withering attacks. Stand tall, intrepid student. Destiny awaits. Updated for the New SAT This new edition of the Math Guide has been updated, rather painstakingly, to reflect the realities of the new SAT coming March 2016. This book was not rushed to market to take advantage of interest in the new exam. I took my time, and hopefully I got it right. Chapters are broken into five major sections: Techniques, Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Additional Topics in Math. Each chapter concludes with a reference list of similar questions from official practice tests. Practice questions are designated as either “Calculator” or “No calculator.” Students will be forbidden from using their calculators for one whole section of the new SAT. Emphasis is placed on nimbleness—the ability to approach problems in multiple ways to find the one that works best. Calculator solutions and shortcuts are provided where appropriate. Join me online Readers of this book are encouraged to register as Math Guide Owners at the PWN the SAT website. There will be video solutions and other bonus content there. Signing up there will also give me a way to get in touch with you if I make book updates. See details at http://mathguide.pwnthesat.com. |

| erica meltzer books: How to Write for Class Erica Lynn Meltzer, 2019-08-09 How to Write for Class: A Student's Guide to Grammar, Punctuation, and Style is a comprehensive guide to the concepts students need to know to write effectively for school. Rather than treat grammar as a series of rules to be memorized, it emphasizes the logic behind the English language as well as the relationship between grammar and meaning. The approach taken in this book is also based on the observation that students often find it challenging to apply rules studied in isolation, or through overly-simplified examples, to the more complex statements they want to include in their own writing. How to Write for Class is designed to help bridge that gap: it makes use of numerous examples from actual papers and walks students through the process of constructing the type of sophisticated but grammatically coherent statements that will raise their academic writing to the next level. Appropriate for advanced middle-school through college writers. |

The game-changing 1600.io Orange Book establishes a new category of premium SAT instructional materials. This groundbreaking text is not a collection of tricks or hacks for getting around the SAT's function of assessing students' skills. Instead, it meets the test on its own terms by providing comprehensive, clear, and patient education in every mathematical concept that can appear on the exam according to the officially published specifications for the test. The renowned SAT preparation team at 1600.io used their extensive experience based on the tens of thousands of students who have passed through our virtual doors to craft this two-volume set (of which this is Volume I) with a fanatical attention to every detail, no matter how small, and we poured into it everything we've learned about how to most effectively help each student acquire the firm, confident grasp of math they need to become a confident master of the material - and, therefore, of the math sections of the SAT. Every SAT math topic, clearly explained Our team spent two years analyzing every math problem on every released test to ensure that we provided engaging, cogent, and thorough explanations for all of the needed concepts. We've got problems... ...and our problems are going to be your problems. More than 16 tests' worth of meticulously constructed SAT-style example and practice problems with hundreds of fully-worked-out solutions. A 1600.io invention: SkillDrills(TM) Many problem-solving techniques are composed of building block skills, so rather than forcing students to make the leap right from instruction to tackling test problems, we provide the intermediate step of these innovative mini-problem sets that build essential skills - and students' confidence. Instant topic lookup for released SAT problems Every one of the 1,276 math problems on the released SATs has been cross-referenced with the section of this pair of books where the primary math skill is fully explained, so students are supported for the entire learning cycle. Each chapter in each volume in the series contains chapters which have section problems, chapter problems, SkillDrills, answer keys, and lists of related real problems from released tests. Volume I (this book) contains the following chapters: Foundations Linear Relationships Slope-Intercept Form Standard Form/Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Systems of Linear Equations Linear Inequalities and Absolute Value Exponents and Radicals/Roots Introduction to Polynomials Solving Quadratic Equations> Extraneous Solutions and Dividing Polynomials The Graphs of Quadratic Equations and Polynomials Number of Zeros/Imaginary and Complex Numbers Volume II (available separately) contains the following chapters: Ratios, Probability, and Proportions Percentages Exponential Relationships Scatterplots and Line Graphs Functions Statistics Unit Conversions Angles, Triangles, and Trigonometry Circles and Volume Wormholes Note that this is a two-volume set, with the topics divided between the volumes, so students should purchase both volumes to have the complete text. |

| erica meltzer books: This is Big Marisa Meltzer, 2020-04-30 'A life-changing book' Viv Groskop Marisa Meltzer was put on her first diet aged five: it was the beginning of a fraught relationship with food. Jean Nidetch was a housewife from Queens who defiantly lost 70 pounds after she was mistaken for being pregnant. Taking everything she learned from this experience, in 1963 she founded Weight Watchers, a company that has shaped decades of diet culture. When Marisa reads Jean's obituary, she feels a moment of intense connection. Curious about the woman and her legacy, she signs up for a year of Weight Watchers; counting points, weighing in and listening to her fellow members struggle with their bodies. This is Big is a biography of an idiosyncratic entrepreneur whose impact is still felt strongly today. It is a history of dieting and body politics for anyone who has agonised over their weight or defiantly tried not to do so.
