Autor Kirk Trigsted, Randall Gallaher, Kevin Boddenen Limba Engleză Carte – 31 dec 2009
Intermediate Algebra is also available with two printed resources to provide additional support for your classroom:
- The eText Reference is a spiral-bound, printed version of the eText that provides a place for students to do practice work and summarize key concepts from the online videos and animations.In addition to the benefits it provides students, the eText Reference also provides portability for those instructors that prefer a printed text for class preparation.
- The Guided Notebook is an interactive workbook that guides students through the course by asking them to write down key definitions and work through important examples for each section of the eText. This resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. Students can integrate their class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook. Instructors can customize the Guided Notebook files found within MyMathLab.

Descriere
Intermediate Algebra by Trigsted, Gallaher, and Bodden is the first online, completely “clickable” Intermediate Algebra text to take full advantage of MyMathLab’s features and benefits. Kirk Trigsted saw marked improvements in student learning when he started teaching with MyMathLab, but he noticed that most students started their assignments by going directly to the MyMathLab homework exercises without consulting their textbook. This inspired Kirk to write a true eText, built within MyMathLab, to create a dynamic, seamless learning experience that would better meet the needs and expectations of his students. Completely clickable and fully integrated–the Trigsted eText is designed for today’s learners.

Caracteristici
- The Trigsted eText is designed for the way students think and behave online. Students are engaged and motivated through timely hyperlinks to definitions, videos, and animations. The authors scripted and created all multimedia learning aids to provide a consistent voice throughout all resources.
- The eText is formatted to fit the screen with no scrolling, and a cream-colored wash softens the eText background to enhance readability.
- Review links throughout the text help students refresh and recall key concepts. Just-in-time hyperlinks let students access vocabulary definitions, prerequisite skills, and multimedia learning aids.
- Interactive animations require student participation in content often covered through long explanations in traditional textbooks. The authors believe students should not be idle when viewing media, especially when it presents key concepts. All of the videos and animations were scripted and created by the authors to ensure a consistent voice.
- Videos and Interactive Videos cover important examples, concepts and procedures. Interactive videos prompt students to make decisions during the solution process, engaging them in active learning.
- The Read Me feature allows auditory learners to listen to the authors reading the text.
- The Task List in the Trigsted MyMathLab course provides students with a strategy to navigate each section successfully. It reminds students that the first step in doing homework is reading the eText! This is followed by (#2) assignable Reading Assessment Questions, (#3) practice exercises, and (#4) homework exercises.
- Reading Assessment Questions, assignable in the Trigsted MyMathLab course, allow instructors to assign reading! Students are given customized feedback on incorrect answers that include links back to the eText for easy reference.
- Additional support resources are also available to accompany Intermediate Algebra:
- The Summary Notebook is a spiral-bound, printed version of the eText that provides a place for students to do practice work and summarize key concepts from the online videos and animations. In addition to the benefits it provides students, the Summary Notebook also provides portability for those instructors that prefer a printed text for class preparation.
- The Guided Notebook is an interactive workbook that guides students through the course by asking them to write down key definitions and work through important examples for each section of the eText. This resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. Students can integrate their class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook. Instructors can customize the Guided Notebook files found within MyMathLab.
- PowerPoint® slides provide an outline to use in a lecture setting, presenting definitions and key examples from the text.
- TestGen® (www.pearsoned.com/testgen) software enables instructors to build, edit, print, and administer tests using a computerized bank of questions developed to cover all the objectives of the text.
- The Mini-Guide shows how other instructors from across the country are using Trigsted and MyMathLab with great results!

Intermediate Algebra by Trigsted, Gallaher, and Bodden is the first online, completely "clickable" Intermediate Algebra text to take full advantage of MyMathLab's features and benefits. Kirk Trigsted saw marked improvements in student learning when he started teaching with MyMathLab, but he noticed that most students started their assignments by going directly to the MyMathLab homework exercises without consulting their textbook. This inspired Kirk to write a true eText, built within MyMathLab, to create a dynamic, seamless learning experience that would better meet the needs and expectations of his students. Completely clickable and fully integrated-the Trigsted eText is designed for today's learners. Intermediate Algebra is also available with two printed resources to provide additional support for your classroom:
- The Summary Notebook is a spiral-bound, printed version of the eText that provides a place for students to do practice work and summarize key concepts from the online videos and animations. In addition to the benefits it provides students, the Summary Notebook also provides portability for those instructors that prefer a printed text for class preparation.
- The Guided Notebook is an interactive workbook that guides students through the course by asking them to write down key definitions and work through important examples for each section of the eText. This resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. Students can integrate their class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook. Instructors can customize the Guided Notebook files found within MyMathLab.
