This basic math fundamentals workbook relies on the student to have grasped the multiplication tables, from one to ten. Without this ability to instantly know the answers, the advantages are outweighed by this inability to seek the correct answer given certain situations. My rigorous addition, subtraction, multiplication and division approach, using whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percents examples, will help the learner become a better player in the field of math. These short fundamental lessons will bridge the gap that was lost somewhere in the educational process years ago.
"This resource was created in response to the requests of teachers--those who want to implement number talks but are unsure of how to begin, and those with experience who want more guidance in crafting purposeful problems."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Prealgebra 2e is designed to meet scope and sequence requirements for a one-semester prealgebra course. The text introduces the fundamental concepts of algebra while addressing the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Each topic builds upon previously developed material to demonstrate the cohesiveness and structure of mathematics. Students who are taking basic mathematics and prealgebra classes in college present a unique set of challenges. Many students in these classes have been unsuccessful in their prior math classes. They may think they know some math, but their core knowledge is full of holes. Furthermore, these students need to learn much more than the course content. They need to learn study skills, time management, and how to deal with math anxiety. Some students lack basic reading and arithmetic skills. The organization of Prealgebra makes it easy to adapt the book to suit a variety of course syllabi.
