About the Book Student-friendly features to make math accessible Margin Problems allow students to immediately practice the example material and check their answer at the bottom of the page in preparation for the exercise sets. Real-Life Applications with interesting data are used in many new or updated examples and exercises throughout the text. Students are often asked to find data in a table, chart, graph, or advertisement. These applied problems provide an up-to-date flavor that will appeal to and motivate students.
Learning Objectives begin each section, and all material is keyed to these objectives to let students and instructors know exactly what will be covered. Pointers within examples, Cautions highlighted in yellow and Notes highlighted in blue provide students with important, on-the-spot reminders and warnings about common pitfalls.
A popular feature, Pointers have been increased in this edition. Study Skills activities provide students with proven strategies for learning math. Many of these now include a Now Try This section to increase student involvement and accountability for the study skills activities. Vocabulary Tips in the margins of the first few chapters help students learn root words and prefixes. The new and engaging Chapter Openers portray real-life situations that make math relevant for students.
Calculator Tips are optional tips, marked with a red calculator icon, that offer helpful information and instruction for students using calculators in the course.
Pedagogy that develops conceptual understanding alongside skill development Concept Checks at the start of exercise sets ensure students have the skills to proceed, and later help students consolidate learning by writing, correcting errors, and practicing processes. Earlier editions of the text included exercises designed to help students find and fix errors, but in this edition these exercises have been updated and expanded with explicit instructions to emphasize the importance of this aspect of the learning process.
When students can find and correct errors, they are demonstrating a higher level of understanding and conceptual knowledge. Relating Concepts exercises, located at the end of many section exercise sets, help students tie concepts together and develop higher-level problem-solving skills as they compare and contrast ideas, identify and describe patterns, and extend concepts to new situations. These exercises make great collaborative activities for pairs or small groups of students.
These exercises encourage understanding of the problem solving process, rather than completing the steps by rote, and also keep students on the right track as they work through the problem-solving steps. Coverage of these exercises in MyLab Math has been increased in this revision.
Summary Exercises are available in every chapter to offer a mid-chapter review and provide students with the all-important mixed practice they need at these critical points in their skill development. An emphasis on problem solving is introduced and integrated as a six-step process for solving application problems algebraically: Read, Assign a Variable, Write an Equation, Solve, State the Answer, and Check. Examples and exercises have been adjusted or replaced with current data.
Applications put math in context to motivate students and were updated to cover a wider variety of topics, including technology, ecology, and health sciences. The variety of end-of-section exercise sets provide students with opportunities to practice, apply, connect, and extend the skills they are learning. Step-by-step worked-out solutions to selected section exercises are available in MyLab Math for exercise numbers enclosed in a blue square.
These solutions are given for selected exercises that most commonly cause students difficulty. Test Your Word Power , incorporated into each Chapter Summary, helps students understand and master mathematical vocabulary.
Key terms from the chapter are presented along with three possible definitions in a multiple-choice format. Answers and examples illustrating each term are provided. In addition to Chapter Review exercises keyed to sections from the chapter, Chapter Reviews include a full page of dedicated Mixed Review exercises, to help students synthesize concepts. Chapter Test allows students to prepare for the real thing.
Students can watch an instructor work out the full solutions to each Chapter Test problem in the Chapter Test Prep Videos. Printed Support for Students The Lial Video Workbook is a note-taking guide to help students develop organized notes as they work along with the videos in the course.

Margaret L. Description For courses in Beginning Algebra. This package includes MyLab Math. The perfect combination to master concepts: student-friendly writing, well-crafted exercises, and superb support The Lial Series has helped thousands of students succeed in developmental mathematics by combining clear, concise writing and examples with carefully crafted exercises to support skill development and conceptual understanding.
Written with the developmental learner in mind, the precise, accessible writing style delivers help precisely when needed. Personalize learning with MyLab Math. Coverage of Guided Solution exercises has been increased in this revision. These exercises allow instructors to assess student understanding of the problem-solving process, rather than completing the steps by rote, and to also keep students on the right track as they work through the problem-solving steps.
Relating Concepts exercises in the text help students make connections and problem-solve at a higher level. These sets are assignable in MyLab Math, with expanded coverage in this revision. Workspace Assignments allow students to work through an exercise step-by-step, adjusting to the path each student takes and allowing them to show their mathematical reasoning as they progress, receiving feedback when and where they need it most. When accessed via a mobile device, Workspace exercises use handwriting recognition software that allows students to naturally write out their answers with their fingertip or stylus.
Premade sample assignments are available in the Assignment Manager, and include a pre-made pre- and post- test for every chapter, section-level homework with Guided Solutions exercises, and chapter review quiz linked to personalized homework. A variety of resources bring the hallmark Lial pedagogy and approach into the MyLab Math course. The extensive Lial video program makes the MyLab Math course a true learning environment, and gives students support right when they need it, wherever they need it.
The variety of videos give instructors flexibility - different types of videos allow for different learning environments, such as a flipped classroom or lab, and different assignment types.
Many of the videos have been updated in this revision to more closely match the exercises from the text, in a more modern presentation format.
Videos available include the following, which all offer optional English and Spanish captioning: Solutions Clips for select exercises marked with a Play Button icon in the text and eText show an instructor working through the complete solution to that exact problem. Objective-level videos are short, bite-size chunks taken from the section lecture videos. Students often will not watch a video longer than 5 minutes, so objective-level videos give just the right amount of content to keep their attention.
Section Lecture Videos are available for every section, and offer a navigation menu by example and objective. Quick Review Lectures provide a summary of key concepts for each chapter. They can also be accessed on YouTube. The Lial Video Workbook corresponds to the videos, and gives students a place to record the examples from the videos and try problems on their own. In addition to a library of premade developmental math questions in Learning Catalytics, the authors have included suggested Learning Catalytics questions , drawing on prerequisite skills, at the start of each section to check student preparedness for the new material.
In addition to assignable Study Skills and Reading Connection material, new Mindset material has been added to the course. This content encourages students to maintain a positive attitude about learning, value their own ability to grow, and view mistakes as a learning opportunity - so often a major hurdle for developmental math students.
This latest course release is compatible with the JAWS screen reader, enabling print-disabled students to access and interact with numerous problems as noted by an icon within the assignment manager. The course also works with the ZoomText enlarger, and includes an HTML eBook that is compatible with JAWS and other Windows screen readers, allowing all students to access the same text, at the same place, and at the same price.
