Prealgebra: Media Enhanced Edition, 3e by Baratto/Bergman is the latest offering from authors Stefan Baratto and Barry Bergman. This media enhanced edition of Prealgebra focuses on mastering math through practice with the integration of the ALEKS� software. ALEKS helps to remediate students who may have a lack of prerequisite knowledge for the prealgebra course by way of an artificial intelligence engine. ALEKS provides students with a map (pictorial graph) of their progress to identify mathematical skills they have mastered and skills where remediation is required. Icons accompany exercises in the text where a similar problem is available in ALEKS.
