Elayn Martin-Gay's success as a developmental math author and teacher starts with a strong focus on mastering the basics through well-written explanations, innovative pedagogy and a meaningful, integrated program of learning resources. The revisions provide new pedagogy and resources to build student confidence, help students develop basic skills and understand concepts, and provide the highest level of instructor and adjunct support.
Martin-Gay's series is well known and widely praised for an unparalleled ability to:
•Explain key concepts clearly with an excellent, accessible writing style.
•Build problem-solving skills with thoroughly integrated problem solving techniques and explanations.
•Relate to students through real-life applications that are interesting, relevant, and practical.
Martin-Gay believes that every student can:
•Test better: The new Chapter Test Prep Video shows Martin-Gay working step-by-step video solutions to every problem in each Chapter Test to enhance mastery of key chapter content.
•Study better: New, integrated Study Skills Reminders reinforce the skills introduced in section 1.1, "Tips for Success in Mathematics" to promote an increased focus on the development of all-important study skills.
•Learn better: The enhanced exercise sets and new pedagogy, like the Concept Checks, mean that students have the tools they need to learn successfully.
Martin-Gay believes that every student can succeed, and with each successive edition enhances her pedagogy and learning resources to provide evermore relevant and useful tools to help students and instructors achieve success.

How do you bring relevant topics into the course? Does/would it help engage students?
Updated real-world exercises and applications—Reinforce concepts crucial to students' success in developmental math. See the Applications Index for a complete list.
Chapter Highlights provide definitions and examples for each section of the text for easy chapter review.
Video Icons flag those exercises worked out on the Lecture Videos by Martin-Gay.
Geometry Icons flag geometry-based problems.
Vocabulary Checks help students test for mastery of key terms.
Where do your students go for extra instruction when they need help?
Where do your students get help the night before the test?
New Chapter Test Prep Video CD—Provides instant access to video solutions to every problem in the chapter test giving students an outstanding resource at one of their most likely "teachable moments" -- the night before the exam. This FREE CD-ROM is automatically packaged inside the back cover of every text.
Do your students work enough problems?
Do you assign homework? Do you grade it?
How do your students get feedback?
TestGen—TestGen enables instructors to build, edit, print, and administer tests using a computerized bank of questions developed to cover all the objectives of the text. Using the built-in question editor, instructors can modify test bank questions; add new questions; create graphs; import graphics; and insert math notation, variable numbers, or text. Tests can be printed or administered online via the Internet or another network. TestGen comes packaged with QuizMaster, which allows students to take tests on a local area network. The software is available on a dual-platform Windows/Macintosh CD-ROM.
How do you teach your student's good study habits?
Mixed Practice section exercises that let students assimilate concepts and skills covered in separate sections, a skill often required when taking tests.
Concept Extensions that expose students to the way math ideas build upon each other and offers additional challenge.
Increased number of challenge exercises in each exercise set.
More real-life data exercises: See Sections 2.2, 2.5, 4.4, 5.5, 7.7, 8.2, 9.1.
More allied health examples and exercises. See Section 2.3, exercises 73 and 74, Section 3.2, Example 7, Section 7.4, Exercise 85.
How many adjuncts or part timers teach this course? Do they have adequate time to prepare?
Instructor to Instructor CD Videos that provide teaching tips from Martin-Gay for adjuncts interested in a quick refresher or additional lecture ideas to help every instructor achieve success.
New Classroom Examples in AIE that provide 2 classroom examples for each example in the text for use during lecture.
New Suggested Homework Assignments in the Instructor's Resource Manual.
Chapter 2: Removed section on percents and problem solving. Percents are now covered in a learning objective of section 2.7 to improve the balance and progression of the problem solving sections.
Chapter 3, Graphing: Now contains all of linear graphing, slope, equations of lines and 3.7 Introduction to Functions, consolidating material that was formerly covered in both Chapters 3 and 7 into Chapter 3.
Chapter 8, Systems of Equations: Now Chapter 4 to give instructors the flexibility to introduce the topic based on the needs of their course.
New Section 7.7: Direct and Inverse Variation is a new introductory section on types of direct and inverse variation containing all new applications.
Increased coverage of factoring trinomials by grouping. See Section 6.3.
Increased discussion about slope as a rate of change. See Section 3.4.
Interval notation is now introduced and used in this text to help students prepare for further mathematics courses.
