A combination of a basic mathematics or prealgebra text and an introductory algebra text, Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, Third Edition, provides a uniquely integrated presentation of the material for these courses in a way that is extremely beneficial to students. As opposed to traditional texts that present arithmetic at the beginning and algebra at the end, this text integrates the two whenever possible, so that students see how concepts are interrelated rather than learning them in isolation and missing the “big picture.” The ideas and algorithms shared by arithmetic and algebra are introduced in an arithmetic context and then developed through the corresponding algebraic concept. For example, operations with rational numbers and rational expressions are discussed together, whereas most texts discuss operations with rational numbers early on and operations with rational expressions much later. The Jordan/Palow text helps students recognize algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic using variables. This approach aligns directly with NCTM and AMATYC standards, which suggest playing upon students' previous knowledge to teach new concepts.

  • The unique integration of arithmetic and algebra makes reluctant students more willing to relearn arithmetic because they know that they will see an immediate need for it as they learn the corresponding algebra. Since students are typically more comfortable with arithmetic concepts, the related algebraic concepts are less foreign.
  • An emphasis on thinking skills and problem solving can be found through a variety of features, such as a problem-solving strategy introduced in Section 3.1, writing exercises, group projects, exercises that require application of skills, and careful attention to the vocabulary and language of mathematics.
  • Geometry is integrated throughout the text and is emphasized more heavily than in other texts at this level.
  • More than 1000 practice exercises and additional practice exercises mirror the examples in the text, giving students ample opportunity to reinforce key skills. Answers to all practice exercises are provided at the bottom of the page.
  • Writing Exercises and Study Tips are provided throughout the text to help students reduce their math anxiety and increase comprehension by writing about mathematics.
  • Scientific calculators are integrated where appropriate in the form of optional calculator exercises and Calculator Exploration Activities, which are designed to help students discover a property or concept through use of the calculator.
  • End-of-chapter material includes a summary that covers key ideas, definitions, algorithms, and procedures; review exercises keyed to each section; and a practice free-response chapter test.

  • NEW! MyMathLab MyMathLab is a complete online course available for Jordan/Palow. Powered by CourseCompass® and MathXL®, MyMathLab provides a wealth of resources to help students increase comprehension and succeed in their courses. MyMathLab opens the door to a world of dynamic multimedia tools and enables instructors to offer extra practice online for a traditional course or provide an entire course over the Web.
  • Prerequisite Skills are found at the end of the objectives for every section. This feature lists the skills (as well as where to find them in the text) needed to be successful in the proceeding section.

    Integrated Arithmetic and Basic Algebra, Fourth Edition, integrates arithmetic and algebra to allow students to see the big picture of math. Rather than separating these two subjects, this text helps students recognize algebra as a natural extension of arithmetic. As a result, students see how concepts are interrelated and are better prepared for future courses.
