Online Algebra Resources from Holt

Our textbook publisher, Holt, offers extensive resources for our Algebra courses via the internet. Each student was assigned a UserID and Password for Holt Online Learning (my.hrw.com), which includes an online version of the textbooks, video tutorials for every lesson, and a variety of other practice materials including practice quizzes for every lesson.

Although the Holt Online Learning site requires a userid and password, Holt also offers go.hrw.com, which provides some limited resources without requiring the user to login, specifically, their Algebra site. Prentice Hall also provides video tutorials for both Algebra and Geometry.
