Pearson - Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, 4/E

In this section:

Description

Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, Fourth Edition, integrates arithmetic and algebra to allow students to see the big picture of math. Rather than separating these two subjects, this text helps students recognize algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic. As a result, students see how concepts are interrelated and are better prepared for future courses.

Features

Unique integration of arithmetic and algebra helps students in two ways: they learn new algebra concepts in the familiar context of arithmetic operations, and they see common patterns between the two subjects.
NEW! Annotated Instructor’s Edition shows all answers next to the exercises and contains helpful new Teaching Tips in the margin.
More than 1000 Practice Exercises and Additional Practice Exercises mirror the examples in the text, giving students ample opportunity to reinforce key skills. Answers to all practice exercises are provided at the bottom of the page. All exercise sets include:

Writing Exercises
Challenge Exercises
Group Activities

Example explanations describe the operation that will be done to get to the next step, instead of what was done, as in most texts. This approach allows students to work out the example problems for themselves while using the descriptions as a guide. Each example is followed by Practice Exercises and Additional Practice Exercises.
Prerequisite Skills needed to be successful are now listed at the end of section objectives and include text references to allow students to strengthen these skills.
NEW! Getting Ready exercises open each section and are based on the list of Prerequisite Skills.
An emphasis on thinking skills and problem solving can be found in a variety of features: problem-solving strategies introduced in Section 3.1, writing exercises, group projects, exercises that require application of skills, and careful attention to the language of mathematics.
Note boxes call out additional information, explanations, or observations about the concept just discussed and Be Careful boxes appear throughout the text to warn students about common errors.
Study Tips are provided throughout the text to help students reduce their math anxiety.
Scientific calculators are integrated where appropriate in the form of optional calculator exercises and Calculator Exploration Activities, which are designed to help students discover a property or concept through use of the calculator.

New To This Edition

New and Updated Features:

The new Annotated Instructor’s Edition shows all answers next to the exercises and contains helpful new Teaching Tips in the margin.
The six-step problem-solving procedure has been expanded and helps students develop good habits early on, so they can be ready to tackle more difficult topics later in the course.
Getting Ready exercises open each section and are based on the list of Prerequisite Skills.
Redesigned chapter summaries include examples for new concepts. The concise, easy-to-read table format is more focused to help in exam preparation.
More study tips help with test preparation and increase student comprehension.
Updated applications include more real data to help students relate the material to their lives and to keep them engaged in the learning process.

Content Updates:

Systems of Linear Equations have been moved from Chapter 5 to Chapter 9 based on instructors’ requests.

Brief Description |
A combination of a basic mathematics or prealgebra text and an introductory algebra text, Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, Third Edition, provides a uniquely integrated presentation of the material for these courses in a way that is extremely beneficial to students. As opposed to traditional texts that present arithmetic at the beginning and algebra at the end, this text integrates the two whenever possible, so that students see how concepts are interrelated rather than learning them in isolation and missing the “big picture.” The ideas and algorithms shared by arithmetic and algebra are introduced in an arithmetic context and then developed through the corresponding algebraic concept. For example, operations with rational numbers and rational expressions are discussed together, whereas most texts discuss operations with rational numbers early on and operations with rational expressions much later. The Jordan/Palow text helps students recognize algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic using variables. This approach aligns directly with NCTM and AMATYC standards, which suggest playing upon students' previous knowledge to teach new concepts.
