How does your current math text compare with Essential Mathematics?
- A companion student manual provides an abundance of activities for students to practice their new skills.
- An instructors manual contains diagnostic tests, complete solutions to test problems, and instructions for various uses of the text.
- Learning objectives, check points, solutions to check point exercises, and a name/subject index are included in the main text.
- Special units on solving formulas, word problems, and graphing help to pinpoint possible trouble areas for students.
Essential Mathematics: A Student Oriented Teaching or Self-Study Text, Third Edition, by Rudolf A. Zimmer is written for students needing a review of algebra and trigonometry basics. Essential Mathematics helps students develop a positive attitude about learning math. Not only does it help lessen students math anxiety, the text is such a complete package that it makes learning math easier for students, and teaching math easier for teachers.
Essential Mathematics consists of a text, a student manual, and an instructors manual. Teachers reduce their preparation time by using the diagnostic placement tests, answers to text exercises, instructions for the various ways of using the text, and materials to manage individual learners. Your students will benefit from the variety of exercises contained in the text:
- study exercises with complete solutions
- drill exercises with answers
- assignment exercises with no answers
The student manual provides additional practice with self tests, complete solutions to all drill exercises, and answers to odd-numbered assignment exercises. All these hands-on problems help your students learn by doing. The text is divided into seven modules which may all be used to write lesson plans.
