Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Prealgebra, 5/e, is a consumable worktext that helps students make the transition from the concrete world of arithmetic to the symbolic world of algebra. The Aufmann team achieves this by introducing variables in Chapter 1 and integrating them throughout the text. This text's strength lies in the Aufmann Interactive Method, which enables students to work with math concepts as they're being introduced. Each set of matched-pair examples is organized around an objective and includes a worked example and a You Try It example for students. In addition, the program emphasizes AMATYC standards, with a special focus on real-sourced data. The Fifth Edition incorporates the hallmarks that make Aufmann developmental texts ideal for students and instructors: an interactive approach in an objective-based framework; a clear writing style; and an emphasis on problem solving strategies, offering guided learning for both lecture-based and self-paced courses. The authors introduce two new exercises designed to foster conceptual understanding: Interactive Exercises and Think About It exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars College Book , February 19, 2007
By Rosy "La Negra" (Newman, Ca) - See all my reviews
I really was relieved to have found this book on Amazon and that it could be expressed delivered. All the other places I looked gave me a 2 week wait. I needed the book right away since I started my class late and homework was due like in 2 days!! I also liked that I can keep track of the entire delivery process. I was at work and I decided to see at what time my book was possibly going to be here. I looked and I saw through the tracking section of your products that my book was waiting for me on my front door. I went home and it was carefully hidden so that nobody can take my package. Thank you so much and I plan on using Amazon.com in the fture!
