Who is this book for? First-year college students, high school students preparing for college, home school students, GED students, and students returning to college after an absence.
What challenges do students face in college math courses? The average pass rate for algebra courses in college is roughly 50%. College math courses move three to four times as fast as high school math courses, and few programs offer extra credit to make up for lackluster test scores. This is particularly dangerous, as students who make a "C" or below in their last math course are more likely to fail their next one.
How does Winning at Math Transition help students pass math courses? It is important to know how to truly learn math, as well as how to apply math-specific study skills, as general study skills do not work in college-level math courses. In addition to teaching these skills, Winning at Math Transition prepares students for the modern college classroom-including non-lecture models, such as: modular, emporium, co-requisite, accelerated, and online.
"As both a mathematics professor and academic administrator, I have seen the overwhelmingly positive effects of good math study skills time and time again. This book is ideal for helping college math students find their personal tools for success such as note-taking, study habits, test taking, and math anxiety. It is also perfect for high school students transitioning into the more autonomous, high-stakes college environment." -Craig, College Dean
"Behind many failing students' apparent lack of interest and motivation, often lies a student frustrated with his lack of success in math. Winning at Math offers practical advice for these students. It is a valuable aid for students at every level." -Susan, Math Advancement Instructor (Middle School)
"Now students of math have a resource that will help them set goals, establish good study habits, prepare for tests and reduce text anxiety. Winning at Math should be required reading for all high school and college students." -Jack, College Math Instructor
This book is very helpful in convincing students that they can succeed in math. Its logical and systematic approach is readily accepted by students who need to understand reasons for their prior failures as well as seeing how they can succeed." -Bill, College Math Lab Supervisor
