* Includes eBook, MathTV videos and XYZ Homework
This combo book is a concise survey of Introductory and Intermediate Algebra designed for a one-semester course. This is unlike our other combined algebra titles that are designed for two terms. Some schools call this an accelerated course.
Every section has been written so that it can be discussed in a single class session. The clean layout and the authors' conversational style make it easy for students to read, and important information such as definitions and properties are highlighted so that they can easily be located and referenced by students.
The following features provide both instructors and students a vast array of resources which can be used to enrich the learning environment and promote student success:
A quick road map for each section to help students identify and focus on the important concepts and increase the likelihood of their success.
Four key questions at the end of every section that students should be able to answer with ease if they have read the material before class.
A brief preview of the next section to help student maintain their momentum as much as possible, with a small taste of the problem types they will encounter next.
A short section of multiple-choice questions at the end of every exercise set to test whether students have met the learning objectives for each section.
Integrated into the problem sets, these particular exercises really challenge students to carefully read the instructions for each problem.
A little more detail, as needed, outlining the steps in a method or process to help students internalize the particular problem-solving strategy.
Each student has a unique approach to learning, so this feature offers students a variety of strategies from a variety of sources.
Applied problems that help give students a greater mathematical sense,ÂÂ and even make the concepts a little easier to understand.
Geometry can give students another view of the problem, and potentially, another avenue for understanding algebraic concepts.
Integrated throughout the textbook, QR codes connect the printed version to the digital assets via one scan with a QR reader on any mobile device.
Lists the main properties and definitions found in the chapter, with examples given in the margin.
A representative sample of the various types of problems students have encountered in the chapter.
Encourage your students to make regular use of these features, and you'll find that they will gradually build a foundation of successful studying practices that will benefit them in all their future courses.
I have taught elementary school through to calculus. I am best suited for teaching developmental math at the community college level. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have students that always impressed me with their willingness to improve their position in life through education.
MathTV.com- Every example in every XYZ Textbook is worked on video by multiple video tutors. Students benefit from seeing multiple approaches and gain confidence in learning from their peers. You can find the MathTV videos in the XYZ eBook. XYZ eBook- Access the eBook for this course as well as any other XYZ Textbook.
