eBook - Volume of ...Aufmann-Prealgebra (Electronic book text, 4th ed.)

"Prealgebra," 4/e, helps students make the transition from the concrete world of arithmetic to the symbolic world of algebra. The Aufmann team achieves this by introducing variables in Chapter 1 and integrating them throughout the rest of the text. This text' s single greatest strength is the "Aufmann Interactive Method," which enables students to work with the math concepts as they' re being introduced. In addition, the text strongly emphasizes the AMATYC standards, with a special focus on real-sourced data."AIM for Success Student Preface" explains how students can achieve success using this text, and walks them through the use of specific supportive features. Prep Tests at the beginning of each chapter focus on the particular prerequisite skills that will be used in the upcoming chapter. "Go Figure" problems are puzzles designed to engage students in problem solving."Aufmann Interactive Method" provides students with an opportunity to try a skill as it is presented. Each section is divided into objectives, and every objective contains one or more sets of matched-pair examples. The first example in each set is worked out; the second example, called "You Try It," requires students to actively practice concepts as they are presented in the text. Complete worked-out solutions to these examples are in the appendix, providing immediate feedback and reinforcement.All of the "Exercise Sets" emphasize skill building, skill maintenance, and applications.Powered by Blackboard, Eduspace for the Aufmann/Barker/Lockwood "Prealgebra" course features algorithmic exercises, test bank content in question pools, an online study guide, interactive tutorials for appropriate sections andvideo explanations.
