Synopsis

This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value--this format costs significantly less than a new textbook.
The first book of the Mathematics in Action series, Prealgebra Problem Solving, Third Edition illustrates how mathematics arises naturally from everyday situations through updated and revised real-life activities and accompanying practice exercises.
This unique approach helps students increase their knowledge of mathematics, sharpen their problem-solving skills, and raise their overall confidence in their ability to learn. Technology integrated throughout the text helps students interpret real-life data algebraically, numerically, symbolically, and graphically. The active style of this book develops students' mathematical literacy and builds a solid foundation for future study in mathematics and other disciplines.

About this title

About the Author

The Consortium for Foundation Mathematics is a team of fourteen co-authors, primarily from the State University of New York and the City University of New York systems. Using the AMATYC Crossroads standards, the team developed an activity-based approach to mathematics in an effort to reach the large population of college students who, for whatever reason, have not yet succeeded in learning mathematics.
