Descriere
Jamie Blair, John Tobey, and Jeff Slater are experienced developmental math authors and active classroom teachers. They have carefully crafted their texts to support students in this course by staying with them every step of the way. Blair, Tobey and Slater... With you every step of the way.
This 3rd edtion of Prealgebra is appropriate for a 1-sem course in Prealgebra and was designed to bridge the gap between arithmetic and algebra topics. Intended for those students who are preparing to take an elementary algebra course and have either not studied algebra or have been previously unsuccessful in arithmetic or algebra. This text integrates algebra rules and concepts with those of arithmetic, sprialing the topics and teaching why, not memorization. Also teaches students the specific study skills necessary to accomade their individual learning styels.

Blair, Tobey and Slater... With you every step of the way.
ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO PAUSE AND ASK THEMSELVES "HOW AM I DOING?" WITH THE NEW MATERIAL THEY ARE LEARNING. A new "How Am I Doing" emphasis gives students the feedback they crave and ensures that they are actively participating in the learning process.
Where do your students get help the night before the test?
New Chapter Test Prep Video: The Chapter Test Prep Video provides step-by-step solutions to every problem in the textbook Chapter Test, free inside the back cover. The night before the exam is an important "teachable moment" and the CTPV helps students better prepare for the exam at a point when they most need it.
Do your students work enough problems?
Do you assign homework? Do you grade it?
How do your students get feedback?
New MyMathlab: Powered by CourseCompass and MathXL, MyMathLab is a series of text-specific online courses that accompany select Prentice Hall Mathematics and Statistics textbooks. MyMathLab provides powerful homework and assessment functionality in addition to a rich and flexible set of course materials to accompany the text. Course management tools make it easy to customize online courses. MyMathLab provides everything necessary to deliver all or a portion of math courses online.
Chapter Organizers neatly summarize the chapter topics, procedures and corresponding examples all in one place to simplify chapter review.
Develop Your Study Skills boxes throughout remind and encourage students to hone these all-important study skills.
A Mathematics Blueprint for Problem Solving provides a consistent and interactive outline that helps students organize their approach to problem solving. The Blueprint helps students know where to begin, and how to understand the process, plan subsequent steps, and successfully solve applications.
Problem Solving is thorough, integrated throughout and easy to follow with key steps highlighted with the pedagogical use of color.
Putting Your Skills to Work applications provide opportunities to solve real world situations using newly mastered math skills. Students utilize critical thinking skills, analyze and interpret data and solve using situations encountered in daily life.
Math in the Media exercises offer students yet another opportunity to see how the math they are learning applies to the world around them.
Exercises are paired and graded (easy to more difficult) and each exercise set includes Verbal and Writing Skills and Mixed Practice exercises.
A built-in solutions manual offers worked out solutions to the practice problems and reinforces the problem solving process.

Better Example, Practice Problem format. Although virtually all worktexts feature an example and corresponding practice problem, Tobey's format has been redesigned to provide better pairing of the practice problem and example into a cohesive "see it solved here, now try it yourself" pattern. Tobey knows that his successful students gain confidence as they move through each section by working the corresponding practice problems.
New and updated exercises and applications contain 30% contributed by students.
New Appendix A: Consumer Finance Applications Appendix covers three practical, common financial decisions--Balancing a Checkbook, Purchasing a Home, and Determining the Best Deal when Purchasing a Vehicle and includes Examples, Practice Problems and Exercises for each.
