What do you think about a math book with only examples ?

Question

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.

I would like to hear from some of you and what you think. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Also, some ideas on a company name or logo would be appreciated.

Answer 1

When you do an example don't have it an example on the easiest problem, but one of the hardest ones so that they can get a better feel of the problems. I know some textbooks that have their example the easiest problem that it could ever be and it doesn't help when I work on the harder problems.

Answer 2

teachers are there to teach problems.

a text book without exercise problems is nothing but boneless chicken, no taste, it is waste.
