Synopsis
The fundamental goal in Tussy and Gustafson's PREALGEBRA, Third Edition is to teach students to read, write, and think about mathematics through building a conceptual foundation in the language of mathematics. The book blends instructional approaches that include vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy, along with an emphasis on reasoning, modeling, communication, and technology skills to develop students' fluency in the "language of algebra". Tussy and Gustafson understand the challenges of teaching developmental students, and this book reflects a holistic approach to teaching mathematics that includes developing study skills, problem solving, and critical thinking alongside mathematical concepts. New features in this edition include a pretest for students to gauge their understanding of prerequisite concepts, problems that make correlations between student life and the mathematical concepts, and study skills information designed to give students the best chance to succeed in the course. Additionally, the text's widely acclaimed Study Sets at the end of every section are tailored to improve students' ability to read, write and communicate mathematical ideas.

Review
"The Tussy/Gustafson text places an emphasis on mathematical vocabulary, and a verbal understanding of mathematical concepts that is not found in other texts I am familiar with."

Condition: Very Good. Offering a uniquely modern, balanced approach, Tussy/Koenig's PREALGEBRA, 6th Edition, integrates the best of traditional and conceptual approaches with a new Look Alikes enhancement. Look Alikes help students compare and contrast problem types to understand the correct intent of questions and determine the necessary steps for solution. For many students, algebra is like a foreign language. Some students need instructional support translating Mathematical words, meanings, and how they apply to problem solving. Emphasizing the language of algebra, the text's fully integrated learning process expands student reasoning abilities and teaches them how to read, write, and think mathematically. It blends instructional approaches that include vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy with an emphasis on reasoning, modeling, communication, and technology skills.
