Prealgebra (Available Titles CengageNOW)

With PREALGEBRA, Tussy and Gustafson prepare your students by providing a review of arithmetic while introducing basic algebra concepts. The book combines instructional methods from both the traditional and reform approaches. PREALGEBRA aims to teach students how to think while developing basic mathematical skills in the context of solving meaningful application problems. The authors give good, clear examples and summarize each major concept in three ways: with written explanations, with mathematical symbols (variables), and visually through the use of illustrated diagrams. Your students will build upon their incremental successes and find themselves motivated to tackle the next step in mathematics education--algebra!
