When you apply what you learn from this workbook, you can do better in class, raise your grades, and score higher on your high school math exams. Each compact lesson in this book introduces a math concept and explains the method behind it in plain language. This is followed with lots of examples with fully worked-out solutions that take you through the key points of each problem. The book gives you two tools to measure what you learn along the way: short drills that follow each lesson and quizzes that test you on multiple lessons These tools are designed to comfortably build your test-taking confidence. Meanwhile, the “Math Flash” feature throughout the book offers helpful tips and strategies — including advice on how to avoid common mistakes. When you complete the lessons, take the final exam at the end of the workbook to see how far you’ve come. If you still need to strengthen your grasp on any concept, you can always go back to the related lesson and review at your own pace. To the Parent For many students, math can be a challenge — but with the right tools and support, your child can master the basics of trigonometry. As educational publishers, our goal is to help all students develop the crucial math skills they’ll need in school and beyond. This Ready, Set, Go! Workbook is intended for students who need to build their basic trigonometry skills. It was specifically created and designed to assist students who need a boost in understanding and learning the math concepts that are most tested along the path to graduation. Through a series of easy-to-follow lessons, students are introduced to the essential mathematical ideas and methods, and then take short quizzes to test what they are learning. Each lesson is devoted to a key mathematical building block. The concepts and methods are fully explained, then reinforced with examples and detailed solutions. Your child will be able to test what he or she has learned along the way, and then take a cumulative exam found at the end of the book. Whether used in school with teachers, for home study, or with a tutor, the Ready, Set, Go! Workbook is a great support tool. It can help improve your child’s math proficiency in a way that’s fun and educational! To the Teacher As you know, not all students learn the same, or at the same pace. And most students require additional instruction, guidance, and support in order to do well academically. Using the Curriculum Focal Points of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, this workbook was created to help students increase their math abilities and succeed on high school exams with special emphasis on high school proficiency exams. The book’s easy-to-follow lessons offer a review of the basic material, supported by examples and detailed solutions that illustrate and reinforce what the students have learned. To accommodate different pacing for students, we provide drills and quizzes throughout the book to enable students to mark their progress. This approach allows for the mastery of smaller chunks of material and provides a greater opportunity to build mathematical competence and confidence. When we field-tested this series in the classroom, we made every effort to ensure that the book would accommodate the common need to build basic math skills as effectively and flexibly as possible. Therefore, this book can be used in conjunction with lesson plans, stand alone as a single teaching source, or be used in a group-learning environment. The practice quizzes and drills can be given in the classroom as part of the overall curriculum or used for independent study. A cumulative exam at the end of the workbook helps students (and their instructors) gauge their mastery of the subject matter. We are confident that this workbook will help your students develop the necessary skills and build the confidence they need to succeed on high school math exams.
