Description
The Bittinger Worktext Series changed the face of developmental education with the introduction of objective-based worktexts that presented math one concept at a time. This approach allowed students to understand the rationale behind each concept before practicing the associated skills and then moving on to the next topic. With this revision, Marv Bittinger continues to focus on building success through conceptual understanding, while also supporting students with quality applications, exercises, and new review and study materials to help them apply and retain their knowledge.
Features
Objective: An Interactive, User-Friendly Textbook
Objective: Conceptual Understanding
Objective: Review and Reinforcement of Key Skills and Concepts
Objective: Study Skills Support
Objective: Understanding the Relevance of Mathematics
