Using the pedagogical methods that have made Keedy/Bittinger work-texts so popular and effective, this sixth edition of Essential Mathematics gives students a brief review of arithmetic and introductory algebra, while it focuses on intermediate algebra. Geometry is also thoroughly covered in the text. This work-text features pretests, clear learning objectives, margin exercises, section exercises, and chapter reviews and exercises. Thinking it Through exercises are designed to promote critical thinking. Icons are used to key supplementary materials directly to the text. This edition is designed to meet the needs of states that have competency texts covering material through intermediate algebra.

• Includes new material to meet the NCTM guidelines and requirements of new state exams.

• Full supplements package.

• The original interactive work text.

  • Includes margin exercises and discrete, manageable learning objectives for each section.

• The 5-step problem solving process is introduced early in the text and restated whenever a word problem is solved.

• Skill retention is a major emphasis of the text.

  • Each chapter begins with a Points to Remember box highlighting key formulas and concepts from previous chapters. Each exercise set ends with Skill Maintenance exercises and each chapter ends with Summary and Review exercises.

• Thinking It Through exercises at the end of each chapter encourage critical thinking and writing about math.
