Basic Mathematical Skills with Geometry, 7/e by Baratto/Bergman is part of the latest offerings in the successful Streeter-Hutchison Series in Mathematics. The seventh edition continues the hallmark approach of encouraging the learning of mathematics by focusing its coverage on mastering math through practice. This worktext seeks to provide carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy to introduce basic mathematical skills and put the content in context. The authors use a three-pronged approach (I. Communication, II. Pattern Recognition, and III. Problem Solving) to present the material and stimulate critical thinking skills. Items such as Math Anxiety boxes, Check Yourself exercises, and Activities represent this approach and the underlying philosophy of mastering math through practice. The exercise sets have been expanded, organized, and clearly labeled. Vocational and professional-technical exercises have been added throughout. Repeated exposure to this consistent structure should help advance the student’s skills in relating to mathematics. The book is designed for a one-semester basic math course and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses. It is accompanied by numerous useful supplements, including McGraw-Hill’s online homework management system, MathZone.

From the Publisher:
Chapter summaries and exercises are found at the end of every chapter and highlight main ideas. Cumulative reviews begin with Chapter Two and serve as a review of the major topics presented to that point in the text. There are pre-tests before each chapter.
Exercise Sets and real-world applications support the NCTM/AMATYC Standards and expose students to a more active and meaningful understanding of mathematics and how it relates to everyday life. Technology examples and exercises support both scientific and graphing calculators.
Active Learning is stressed via "Check Yourself" boxes which follow every example. Students are asked to apply what they have just learned and are able to receive immediate feedback.
Emphasis on modeling real phenomena. This is accomplished by means of mathematical relationships.
Six sections at the beginning of the text open with a suggestion on "Overcoming Math Anxiety."
Text is available on Primis.
ALEKS
Material on lines, angles, and triangles has been added.
This text is packaged with a free text-specific CD. The SMART CD contains algorithmically generated problems at the chapter and section level, as well as tutorials for each section.

Don began teaching in a preschool while he was an undergraduate. He subsequently taught children with disabilities, adults with disabilities, high school mathematics, and college mathematics. Although each position offered different challenges, it was always breaking a challenging lesson into teachable components that he most enjoyed.
It was at Clackamas Community College that he found his professional niche. The community college allowed him to focus on teaching within a department that constantly challenged faculty and students to expect more. Under the guidance of Jim Streeter, Don learned to present his approach to teaching in the form of a textbook. Don has also been an active member of many professional organizations. He has been president of ORMATYC, AMATYC committee chair, and ACM curriculum committee member. He has presented at AMATYC, ORMATYC, AACC, MAA, ICTCM, and a variety of other conferences.
Above all, he encourages you to be involved, whether as a teacher or as a learner. Whether discussing curricula at a professional meeting or homework in a cafeteria, it is the process of communicating an idea that helps one to clarify it.
