Mathematics

Intermediate Algebra is 1-semester gateway course to other college-level mathematics courses.  The goal of the Intermediate Algebra course is to provide students with the mathematical skills that are prerequisites for courses such as College Algebra, Elementary Statistics, Liberal-Arts Math and Mathematics for Teachers.

 

The goal of the Sullivan/Struve texts is to inspire and help students when they are doing math outside of the classroom by building on the work you do with them in the classroom.   Here’s how…

 

---

Why do your students like it when you work problems on the board during class?  Is it because you explain the problem while you are solving it and help them to interpret the algebra and identify the appropriate problem-solving steps they should use?  What do your students do if they get stuck on their first homework problem?  Do they search in the textbook for a similar example?

• Sullivan/Struve introduces a NEW, innovative example format that more closely resembles how you work problems on the board in class!  The Sullivan/Struve Example places the annotation to the left of the algebra instead of the right (as is done in the typical developmental math example) to help your students see what is about to happen rather then telling them what was just done.  This subtle change is logical and effective because it’s similar to how you work examples on the board during your class!

• Sullivan/Struve introduces key concepts or important problem-solving techniques with Showcase Examples.  They are presented in an easy-to-understand, 3-column format.  The left column describes a step, the middle column provides a brief annotation (as needed) to explain the step, and the right column presents the algebra.  Your students will hear your instruction in these Showcase Examples!

After you work a problem on the board do you then have your students work problems on their own or in groups?  Why?  Is it to give your students an opportunity to practice what they just learned?

• Sullivan/Struve offers Quick Check Exercises immediately following each Sullivan/Struve Example so your students can work them and grasp whether or not they understand the material just presented!

What problems are you assigning for homework?  How quickly do your students give-up on their homework when they get stuck?

• Sullivan/Struve designed the Quick Check Exercises to be an assignable part of homework.  They are paired with the clear, effective Sullivan/Struve Examples so students can refer back to the examples when they get stuck.  This format keeps them from getting frustrated!

How many problems are you working on the board in class? Where do those problems come from?

• In a recent Prentice Hall survey, 95% of the Instructors said that they have their students work exercises during every class, and 67% said they have their students’ work 4 or more exercises in every class.  This requires you to have an abundance of classroom examples ready to use!  Sullivan/Struve makes it easy for you to work problems in class by providing a parallel Classroom Example for each worked example in the text.  (Note that these Classroom Examples and their answers appear in the AIE only).
• Sullivan/Struve offers a means of testing your students’ preparedness for a new section of material by providing Preparing For This Section problems.  Select one to work on the board in class or assign as a quiz!  The answers are provided as a footnote on the same page and are cross-referenced to the material in the text to provide students with remediation when necessary.

Is this going to be on the test?  How many times have you been asked that question?!  Is it because your students are worried about studying the right things so there aren’t any surprises?  When are your students studying for the test?  Is it late the night before your in-class exam and does their anxiety build as they realize they aren’t prepared?

• To help students prepare better for quizzes and tests, Sullivan/Struve includes Chapter Tests with exercises that have been crafted to reflect the level and types of exercises they are likely to see on your classroom exam.  And if they realize they need help late at night, they can refer to the Chapter Test Prep Video CD (in the text) to view the fully worked-out video solutions to every problem on every Chapter Test!
• Sullivan/Struve wants to help students avoid cramming at the last minute, so at the appropriate point in the chapter they include Putting the Concepts Together which is a group of exercises for students to work as a Mid-Chapter Review.

Do your students have difficulty reading mathematically precise definitions and theorems?  Do you often give hints, tips and reminders to your students during class and one-on-one time?

• In Words helps students understand the definitions and theorems by putting them in plain English… just like you do in class!

• Sullivan/Struve’s Work Smart identifies some common errors to avoid and encourages students to work more efficiently… just like you do when working with your students!

How are your students study skills?  Do you view good organizational, time management and study skills as essential to success in a math course? 

• Sullivan/Struve help you to easily introduce some basic study skills with Section R.1: Success in Mathematics.  This section covers the basics such as: What to do during the first week of the semester; What to do before, during and after class; And how to use the text effectively and prepare for an exam.  And Sullivan/Struve makes it easy reinforce those throughout the semester with Work Smart: Study Skills.  These remind students of the study skills that will help them to succeed.

 

Are your students struggling to see how all the mathematical concepts relate?  How are you encouraging your students to take an active role in understanding the mathematical concepts they are learning?

• Sullivan/Struve can help you get your students to see how the mathematical concepts in your course relate with Putting It Together: The Big Picture.  These Chapter Openers summarize the concepts and techniques previously presented to show the student how they are tied together.  When students realize that they already have a base of knowledge on which to draw, they are less intimidated by the other material and have a greater appreciation of the prerequisites they have to master.

  Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

  

  The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra Series was written to motivate students to “do the math” outside of the classroom through a design and organization that models what you do inside the classroom. The left-to-right annotations in the examples provide a teacher’s voice through every step of the problem-solving process. The Sullivan exercise sets, which begin with Quick Checks to reinforce each example, present problem types of every possible derivation with a gradual increase in difficulty level. The new “Do the Math” Workbook acts as a companion to the text and to MyMathLab^® by providing short warm-up exercises, guided practice examples, and additional “Do the Math” practice exercises for every section of the text.

Michael Sullivan, III, Joliet Junior College
With training in mathematics, statistics, and economics, Michael Sullivan, III has a varied teaching background that includes 15 years of instruction in both high school and college-level mathematics.  He is currently a full-time professor of mathematics at Joliet Junior College.  Michael has numerous textbooks in publication, including an Introductory Statistics series, and a Precalculus series, which he writes with his father, Michael Sullivan.  Michael believes that his experiences writing texts for college-level math and statistics courses give him a unique perspective as to where students are headed once they leave the developmental mathematics tract.  This experience is reflected in the philosophy and presentation of his developmental text series.  When not in the classroom or writing, Michael enjoys spending time with his three children, Michael, Kevin, and Marissa, and playing golf.  Now that his two sons are getting older, he has the opportunity to do both at the same time!

 

Kathy Struve, Columbus State Community College
Kathy Struve has been a classroom teacher for nearly 25 years, first at the high school level, and, for the past 13 years, at Columbus State Community College.  Kathy emphasizes classroom diversity: diversity of age, learning styles, and previous learning success.  She is aware of the challenges of teaching mathematics at a large, urban community college, where students have varied mathematics backgrounds, and may enter college with a high level of mathematics anxiety.  Kathy served as Lead Instructor of the Developmental Algebra sequence at Columbus State where she developed curriculum and provided leadership to adjunct faculty in implementing graphing calculator technology in the classroom.  She has authored classroom activities at the Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, and College Algebra levels and conducted workshops at local, state, and national conferences on both integrating graphing calculator applications into the curriculum and developing varied forms of assessment. This textbook incorporates her 25 years of experience in addressing the individual needs of students.
