Download or read book Prealgebra written by Elaine Hubbard and published by Houghton Mifflin College Division. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to accommodate students from a variety of math backgrounds, Prealgebra provides instructors with the flexibility to choose the order and presentation of topics that suits their course. All algebraic content is presented in separate sections so that topics can be easily omitted or covered later. Use of a graphing or scientific calculator is not required for the text, however the authors emphasize these tools where appropriate for those who allow and encourage their use in the course. Combining a highly visual presentation, an abundance of real-world applications, and a friendly, engaging style, Prealgebra is designed to fully support students with weak study habits, math anxiety, or those returning to school after an absence. Whenever possible, the material encourages students to visualize the concepts, giving them a logical basis for definitions and promoting discovery of basic rules and principles. Engaging, two-page Chapter Openers feature a photo with applicable graph, application description, and Chapter Snapshot to help motivate students to learn the material. Sections open with Suggestions for Success, which offer advice on study habits, ways to approach the coming material, and general observations on ways to think about mathematics. Developing the Concept provides background and reasoning for definitions, rules, and the procedures that follow. The feature also poses "What if?" questions, allowing students to experiment, explore, and discover. Worked-out examples/solutions enable students to see a detailed example side-by-side with a Your Turn exercise that encourages them to try the math as they\'re learning it. Answers to Your Turn exercises appear upside down, underneath their corresponding exercise in both the Student and Instructor\'s Annotated Edition. Full solutions to Your Turn exercises appear at the end of the Student Edition. Learning Tips in the margin offer students helpful strategies and alternative ways of thinking about concepts. Every section has at least one Learning Tip. Keys to the Calculator boxes, including exercises for immediate reinforcement, appear throughout the text at relevant points to aid students in the appropriate use of a calculator. Hubbard and Robinson are unique in their treatment as they give the scientific and graphing calculators equal emphasis where appropriate. Displays from the graphing calculator appear in the boxes. Warm-Up Skills, approximately 10 skill-and-drill exercises at the beginning of each chapter, help students review previously covered concepts and skills that will be needed in the chapter. (In the Instructors Annotated Edition the answers for these features are in place while in the Student Edition, the answers are in the back of the book.) A wealth of features and exercises at the end of most sections includes: Quick Reference highlights of key concepts; Speaking the Language, which reinforces vocabulary and contextual meanings; collaborative Explorations with Real-World Data; Writing and Concept Extension exercises, ideal as a basis for classroom discussion; Bringing It Together exercises that bridge topics within the section; Estimation exercises; and real-world Applications. Each section offers thorough integration of supportive technology resources into the chapter material, with icons for a CD-ROM, videos, and web site to which students can go for extra h

Book excerpt: Do you understand math? Usually, it's yes or no. For people who said "no", there's Math without calculators. I'll explain how it works. Go to MathWithoutCalculators.com, take a quiz, and watch a video. Then, find the lesson in a workbook and fill out the lesson form. Homework: you need to go over what you filled out with a checker. (Family, friend, or classmate). Why does it work!!! By using a checker, the time is longer to learn the concept plus it uses talking as learning style, which is different form other math textbooks. Student and teachers love it!!!
Book Synopsis Calculator Use In Developmental Mathematics in a Community College by : Darla Jean Aguilar
Download or read book Calculator Use In Developmental Mathematics in a Community College written by Darla Jean Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine instructor and student usage of calculators in basic mathematics and prealgebra courses at a community college. Researcher-created surveys were given to 54 instructors and 198 students. The results showed instructors were fairly evenly divided about policies regarding the use of calculators. The major reason for not allowing calculators was that students needed to develop basic skills, and the major reason for allowing calculators was to concentrate on learning concepts. Students used calculators mainly for computation and seldom reported instructors using calculators in class for any other reason. Students were more likely to see calculators as learning tools than were teachers, who saw calculators mainly as computation machines. The results also indicated that instructors were confused about department calculator policies, and students were confused about classroom calculator use policies.
Book Synopsis Teachers' Perceptions and Practices Regarding the Use of Calculators in One District Over a Twenty-year Period by : Gay Ann Ragan
Download or read book Teachers' Perceptions and Practices Regarding the Use of Calculators in One District Over a Twenty-year Period written by Gay Ann Ragan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case study of one school district in Missouri was conducted. This district was chosen based on participation in calculator studies in 1979 and 1990. As a result, a unique opportunity existed to develop a profile of calculator use in the teaching and learning of mathematics in one district over a twenty-year period. Data were collected to (a) describe teachers' current perceptions and practices regarding use of calculators; (b) to examine changes in teachers' perceptions and practices; and (c) to identify specific factors that have influenced calculator use in the Pine Brooke School District. In addition, individual case studies of nine teachers who participated in the 1979 and/or 1990 calculator studies were highlighted. An examination of the data over the twenty-year period indicated the most noticeable changes were in teachers' practices at the junior high and high school levels. At both schools, changes in policies to allow calculator use on state-mandated tests resulted in increased availability and changes in departmental policies allowing calculator use in earlier courses than in previous years. Across all grade levels (1-12) teachers' beliefs about the use of calculators had remained consistent. They believed students should "master the basic skills" as prerequisites to using a calculator. They supported calculator use beginning in the eighth or ninth grade because they believed that the focus of mathematics shifted from a computational to a conceptual orientation. Teachers' practices were generally consistent with these beliefs in that their support of and use of calculators within instruction increased at about the time students began studying algebra. Inconsistencies in teachers' beliefs and practices were evident at the elementary levels because of limited or no access to calculators. Thus, teachers who were supportive of calculator use did not include them in their practices. Factors that were influential to calculator use in the Pine Brooke School District were identified. These were policies regarding calculator use in the classroom and on standardized test; the availability of calculators; and teachers' beliefs about the impact of calculators on student learning and their views of mathematics. Teachers' lack of knowledge and experiences with calculators at both the pre-service and in-service level was the least recognized factor but was possibly the most influential factor that inhibited calculator use.
