Description
Features
Thomasson/Pesut helps students understand the importance of math in the world outside of the classroom by emphasizing modeling and providing early and frequent exposure to functions and the graphing calculator.
How are you encouraging your students to see the importance of math in the world outside of your classroom?
- Thomasson/Pesut wants to help you ensure that students gain a true, solid understanding of what the concepts they are learning represent, and so they provide a balanced discussion of the algebraic, numerical and graphical methods of problem-solving.
- NEW! Additional Data Problems have been added and updated throughout the text so that your students are learning math with current, relevant exercises.
- To help students learn key concepts within a meaningful context, Thomasson/Pesut frames each section-level concept with an appropriate Real-World Application.
- Thomasson/Pesut makes it easy for you to incorporate modeling activities into your course that provide a connection to other disciplines by including Chapter Projects at the end of every chapter.
- Thomasson/Pesut also includes a Modeling the Real World objective within each section to present real-life situations where math can be modeled using the concepts discussed in that section.
Do you want your students to understand both how and when to use the graphing calculator?
- To help students learn how to use the graphing calculator, Thomasson/Pesut includes Technology Boxes throughout the text. These Technology Boxes walk a student through a problem using the graphing calculator by showing screens and keystrokes.
- To help students learn when to use the graphing calculator, Thomasson/Pesut includes Calculator Exercises at the end of each section.
How are you encouraging students to express mathematical ideas?
- At the end of every chapter, Thomasson/Pesut includes Vocabulary Review (NEW!) so students have an opportunity to become more familiar with the use of mathematical terms as they strengthen their verbal skills and every section includes Writing Exercises so students can practice expressing their mathematical ideas through writing.
After you work a problem on the board do you then have your students work problems on their own or in groups? Why? Is it to give your students an opportunity to practice what they just learned?
- Thomasson/Pesut offers Checkup Exercises for each objective in the textbook so your students can work these exercise to grasp whether or not they understand the material just presented before moving on to a new objective!
How many problems are you working on the board in class? Where do those problems come from?
- In a recent Prentice Hall survey, 95% of the Instructors said that they have their students work exercises during every class, and 67% said they have their students’ work 4 or more exercises in every class. This requires you to have an abundance of classroom examples ready to use! Thomasson/Pesut provides Checkup Exercises for each objective in the textbook so you can select some of those exercises to work on the board in class.
Is this going to be on the test? How many times have you been asked that question?! Is it because your students are worried about studying the right things so there aren’t any surprises? When are your students studying for the test? Is it late the night before your in-class exam and does their anxiety build as they realize they aren’t prepared?
- To help students prepare better for quizzes and tests, Thomasson/Pesut includes Section-by-Section Reviews following each chapter summary. These reviews include an example of every major concept presented in the chapter along with review exercises. These are organized by section so that students can easily refer back to the appropriate section for additional guidance as needed.
- Thomasson/Pesut also provides Chapter Reviews (following each Section-by-Section Review) with mixed exercises that require students to identify the problem type and determine what strategy to use in solving it… just as they would need to do on a test or exam! Cumulative Reviews are also placed in the text at appropriate areas to serve as reviews for midterms and final exams.
- Every chapter also contains a Chapter Test that will help familiarize the student with typical test material so they can practice for the real test/exam. Each Chapter Test begins with Test-Taking Tips to give students suggestions on how to enhance their study skills and relieve their test anxiety.
