The following features provide both instructors and students a vast array of resources which can be used to enrich the learning environment and promote student success:
- Chapter Introductions
- Learning Objectives
- Getting Ready for Class
- Getting Ready for the Next Section
- Learning Objectives Assessments
- Paying Attention to Instructions
- How To Segments
- Spotlight on Success

Learning Objectives
A quick road map for each section to help students identify and focus on the important concepts and increase the likelihood of their success.
Getting Ready for Class
Four key questions at the end of every section that students should be able to answer with ease if they have read the material before class.
Getting Ready for the Next Section
A brief preview of the next section to help student maintain their momentum as much as possible, with a small taste of the problem types they will encounter next.
Learning Objectives Assessments
A short section of multiple-choice questions at the end of every exercise set to test whether students have met the learning objectives for each section.
Paying Attention to Instructions
Integrated into the problem sets, these particular exercises really challenge students to carefully read the instructions for each problem.
How To Segments
A little more detail, as needed, outlining the steps in a method or process to help students internalize the particular problem-solving strategy.
Spotlight on Success€Â
Each student has a unique approach to learning, so this feature offers students a variety of strategies from a variety of sources.
Real-Data Application Problems
Applied problems that help give students a greater mathematical sense,€ and even make the concepts a little easier to understand.
Facts from Geometry
Geometry can give students another view of the problem, and potentially, another avenue for understanding algebraic concepts.
QR Codes
Integrated throughout the textbook, QR codes connect the printed version to the digital assets via one scan with a QR reader on any mobile device.
Chapter Summary
Lists the main properties and definitions found in the chapter, with examples given in the margin.
Chapter Summary
A representative sample of the various types of problems students have encountered in the chapter.
Encourage your students to make regular use of these features, and you'll find that they will gradually build a foundation of successful studying practices that will benefit them in all their future courses.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Advice for students taking a math class: Your thoughts shape your reality. If you think something will be boring, it probably will be. But if you chose to think something will be fun or interesting, it probably will be! Go to your instructor's office hour sometime during the first week or two. Make a point of introducing yourself. Then ask a question (it doesn't matter what...just get them talking about mathematics or themselves).
