This clear, accessible treatment of mathematics features a building-block approach toward problem solving and realistic, diverse applications. The Putting Your Skills to Work and new chapter-end feature, Math in the Media, present readers with opportunities to utilize critical thinking skills, analyze and interpret data, and problem solve using applied situations encountered in daily life. The goal of the changes in the 2nd edition is to upgrade the level of algebra in the book—This is accomplished by introducing equations, evaluating expressions, and properties of exponents earlier and revisiting the topics more often. Readers now learn how to solve equations using one principle first (Chapters 1, 3, 4, and 5)—Using both principles together is covered (Ch. 6) after readers have had substantial practice using one principle of equality. Contains 2 chapters dedicated to algebra skills (Ch. 3 and 6). A substantial increase in coverage of evaluating expressions (nearly double) from the first edition. Signed numbers are now covered earlier in Chapter 2 and Whole number operations are covered in one chapter vs. two in the previous edition.

For courses in Prealgebra or basic math when instructors would like to introduce algebra earlier.This text is designed to help a variety of students bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebra. Blair, Tobey, and Slater use an innovative, integrated arithmetic/algebra approach that develops algebraic skills using "small steps," spirals topics throughout, emphasizes that algebra rules are just an extension of arithmetic, and teaches students the specific study skills necessary to accommodate their individual learning styles -- including skills for "translating" the language of mathematics into plain English.

Jamie Blair, John Tobey, and Jeff Slater are experienced developmental math authors and active classroom teachers. They have carefully crafted their texts to support students in this course by staying with them every step of the way. Blair, Tobey and Slater... With you every step of the way. This 3rd edtion of Prealgebra is appropriate for a 1-sem course in Prealgebra and was designed to bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebra topics. Intended for those students who are preparing to take an elementary algebra course and have either not studied algebra or have been previously unsuccessful in arithmetic or algebra. This text integrates algebra rules and concepts with those of arithmetic, sprialing the topics and teaching why, not memorization. Also teaches students the specific study skills necessary to accomade their individual learning styles.

PRENTICE/HALL

A worktext format for basic college math or arithmetic courses including lecture-based, self-paced, and modular classes. John Tobey and Jeff Slater are experienced developmental math authors and active classroom teachers. The Tobey approach focuses on building skills one at a time by breaking math down into manageable pieces. This building block organization is a practical approach to basic math skill development that makes it easier for students to understand each topic, gaining confidence as they move through each section. Knowing students crave feedback, Tobey has enhanced the new edition with a "How am I Doing?" guide to math success. The combination of continual reinforcement of basic skill development, ongoing feedback and a fine balance of exercises makes the second edition of Tobey/Slater Beginning and Intermediate Algebra even more practical and accessible. Prealgebra Review; Real Numbers And Variables; Equations, Inequalities, And Applications; Graphing And Functions; Systems Of Linear Equations And Inequalities; Exponents And Polynomials; Factoring; Rational Expressions And Equations; Rational Exponents And Radicals; Quadratic Equations And Inequalities; The Conic Sections; Additional Properties Of Functions; Logarithmic And Exponential Functions; Foundations for Intermediate Algebra; Mathematics Blueprint for Problem Solving; Practice with Operations of Whole Numbers; Tables; Determinants and Cramer's Rule; Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Matrices; Sets For all readers interested in algebra.

This book is designed to help a variety of readers bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebra. Slightly more rigorous than most arithmetic books -- but not as difficult or comprehensive as elementary algebra books -- it uses an innovative, integrated arithmetic/algebra approach that develops algebraic skills using "small steps," spirals topics throughout, emphasizes that algebra rules are just an extension of arithmetic, and teaches readers the specific study skills necessary to accommodate their individual learning styles -- including skills for "translating" the language of mathematics into plain English. Covers: Addition and Subtraction of Whole Number Expressions. Multiplication and division of Whole Number Expressions. Signed Numbers. Fractions and Ratio and Proportion. Equations and Polynomials. Fractional Expressions. Decimals and Percents and Radical Expressions. Graphing and Statistics. Measurement and Geometric Figures. For those with math anxiety or frustration who need to make the transition from arithmetic to algebra.

This product is the 10-week access card for Developmental Mathematics: Prealgebra, Beginning Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra -10 Week Standalone Access Card, 1/e . ALERT: Before you purchase, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products. NOTE: Make sure to use the dashes shown on the Access Card Code when entering the code. Developmental Mathematics by Trigsted, Bodden, and Gallaher is the first online, completely clickable Prealgebra, Beginning Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra combined text to take full advantage of MyMathLab s features and benefits. Kirk Trigsted saw marked improvements in student learning when he started teaching with MyMathLab, but he noticed that most students started their assignments by going directly to the MyMathLab homework exercises without consulting their textbook. This inspired Kirk to write a true eText, built within MyMathLab, to create a dynamic, seamless learning experience that would better meet the needs and expectations of his students. Completely clickable and fully integrated the Trigsted eText is designed for today s learners. Developmental Mathematics is also available with two printed resources to provide additional support for your classroom: TheeText Referenceis a spiral-bound, printed version of the eText that provides a place for students to do practice work and summarize key concepts from the online videos and animations. In addition to the benefits it provides students, theeText Referenceis also a nice resource for those instructors that prefer a printed text for class preparation. The Guided Notebook is an interactive workbook that guides students through the course by asking them to write down key definitions and work through important examples for each section of the eText. This resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. Students can integrate their class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook. Instructors can customize the Guided Notebook files found within MyMathLab.
