8th Edition, Revised and Enhanced.
Prealgebra, Eighth Edition, was written to help students make the transition from arithmetic to algebra. To help students accomplish this, goals for this text are:
Most importantly, to write an organized, student-friendly text that is keyed to objectives and contains many worked-out examples.
To introduce algebraic concepts early and repeat them often as I cover traditional arithmetic topics, thus laying the groundwork for the next algebra course your students will take.
To show students the relevancy of mathematics in everyday life and in the workplace by emphasizing and integrating the following throughout this text: real-life and real-data applications, data interpretation, conceptual understanding, problem solving, writing, cooperative learning, number sense, estimation, critical thinking and geometric concepts.
Elayn Martin-Gay is known for her accessible writing style with built-in study skills and support. An emphasis on study skills is incorporated through the text.
Detailed step-by-step examples provide guidance for students, and practice margin exercises are paired with each example to actively involve students in the learning process.
Helpful Hints, strategically placed where students are most likely to need immediate reinforcement, help students avoid common trouble areas and mistakes.
All exercise sets have been carefully updated with this revision. Several special types of exercises throughout the text include Mixed Practice, Concept Extension, and more!
Excellent text book. You NEED this book if you want to UNDERSTAND math. A lot of explanation, example, exercises, answer at the back of the book, and it is written cumulatively. It’s the best.
