Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra: An Applied Approach
As in previous editions, the focus in PREALGEBRA & INTRODUCTORY ALGEBRA remains on the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It problems.
Math is a tricky subject that brings stress to many students. With Express Review Guides: Basic Math & Pre-Algebra, this does not need to be the case. No longer will fractions and decimals keep you up at night. After finding your strengths and weaknesses through a simple pretest, this Express Review Guide will provide lessons and tutorials with step-by-step answer explanations to increase comprehension. You will encounter math problems of all shapes and sizes in easy-to-understand examples - all designed to improve your math proficiency.
The content of California Pre-Algebra offers complete coverage of California’s Grade 7 Mathematics Content Standards. Mathematics standards from previous grades are reviewed to help understand Grade 7 standards. Activities are provided to develop Grade 7 concepts. Each lesson has ample skill practice so that students can master the important mathematical processes taught in Grade 7. California Pre-Algebra also teaches valuable techniques for solving purely mathematical as well as real-world problems. Throughout each chapter students will engage in error analysis and mathematical reasoning to build critical thinking skills and to construct logical arguments. California Pre-Algebra thus provides a balance between basic skills, conceptual understanding, and problem solving – all supported by mathematical reasoning.
