About this title

Synopsis

Built on AMATYC and NCTM standards, this book takes an active learning approach, focusing on collaborative for small groups. Independent learning is encouraged as problem-solving skills illustrate connections among mathematic ideas as readers discover and build on concepts explored as a group, as the book focuses on learning in a social context. Each section of a chapter opens with the investigation of a problem, in which readers gather data and collaborate on investigative activities. The book's discussion summarizes matheatic ideas gained from the investigations. At the end of each section concept maps enable readers to devise key ideas and draw connections between aspects of the concepts. For anyone interested concepts and processes or seeking an introduction to algebra.
