College Mathematics: Combining Values and Critical Thinking to Solve Problems

This book contains basic content from Problem Solving, Measurement, Geometry, Counting Principles, Probability, and Statistics. Examples, definitions, and equations are included throughout, as well as chapter summaries. Concluding each section are a variety of Exploration exercises that can be used for group projects, individual exploration, lesson extensions, and integration of critical thinking and values for effective problem solving. There is also a new section relating to travel, that can be used for an international study trip associated with the course. Chapter 4 contains a large exercise that fits well as a team assessment over Geometry, while chapter 8 finishes with several options for a statistics project.
