Intermediate Algebra (with CD-ROM, BCA/iLrn Tutorial, and InfoTrac )

Kaseberg presents an effective, nontraditional approach to the traditional algebra curriculum. The first and second editions gained a strong following among instructors who found that Kaseberg's use of guided discovery and problem solving facilitates the learning of new concepts and strengthens skill retention. Kaseberg's informal, interactive style makes algebra more accessible to students while maintaining a high level of mathematical accuracy. To reduce preparation time for course leaders and facilitate use by adjuncts, the Instructor's Resource Manual is a valuable resource. The manual provides structured lesson and group-activity suggestions for each section in the textbook, incorporates materials from the textbook with supplemental projects and activities, suggests core homework assignments, and furnishes guided-discussion questions. This resource serves to bridge the gap between traditional pedagogy and a reform approach.
