The Series' Approach Incorporating the AMATYC standards, the DeMarois/McGowen/Whitkanack series takes an active-learning approach to Introductory Algebra and Intermediate Algebra, focusing on collaborative work both in and out of class. The problem-solving skills presented in these texts encourage independent learning and emphasize connections among mathematical ideas to help students better understand and build on newly encountered concepts. Through discovery-based techniques, students are encouraged to explore mathematical ideas on the calculator and/or computer before the ideas are discussed in class. This innovative approach helps students make mathematical discoveries, supports small-group work, and reduces the instructor's role as a lecturer.

STUDENT'S SOLUTION MANUAL FOR MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATIONS

Mathematics

Reflecting AMATYC and NCTM standards, and based on current research about the teaching and learning of mathematics, Mathematical Investigations makes mathematics truly accessible to all students by taking an active approach to learning. Focused on mathematical reasoning and problem-solving strategies, this text presents a series of carefully sequenced investigations, where students gather data and work collaboratively to discover key concepts. Students construct their knowledge of a particular topic in a real-world context and then reinforce this knowledge through reflection, practice, and synthesis with other topics as they work through the text. The function concept is central, and is explored through multiple representations. Variables, notation, and process are explored explicitly rather than assuming students have mastered these concepts in previous courses. Content is examined in depth, and contextual problems are revisited throughout the text to create a spiral that gives students multiple opportunities to master important skills and concepts. Graphing calculators are integrated throughout to help students discover patterns and interpret data intelligently. Students are encouraged to analyze data in numerous ways and to connect their analysis to the basic functions studied in algebra.

MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATIONS

This comprehensive guide can be used as a companion in any course which utilizes graphing calculators to facilitate the learning of equations and functions. Particularly useful for beginning algebra, intermediate algebra, college algebra, and precalculus courses, this manual contains the following features: descriptions of the basic features, setup, and use of the calculator; step-by-step procedures for using functions, graphs, and matrices to solve equations; sections on using the calculator to organize, tabulate, and graph statistical data; and covers TI-82, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, and TI-89 models.
