Guided Notebook for Intermediate Algebra with Integrated Review

Description

The Guided Notebook is an interactive workbook that guides you through the course by asking you to write down key definitions and work through important examples for each section of the eText. This resource is available in a three-hole-punched, unbound format to provide the foundation for a personalized course notebook. You can integrate your class notes and homework notes within the appropriate section of the Guided Notebook. Instructors can customize the Guided Notebook files found within MyMathLab.                   

New and Updated Features

• Concept Videos and Animations show the authors animating each chapter’s most difficult concepts directly on screen to capture students’ interest and create an active learning environment.
• Updated! The Task List in the Trigsted MyMathLab^® course provides students with a strategy to navigate each section successfully. It reminds students that the first step in doing homework is reading the eText! This is followed by (#2) assignable Reading Assessment Questions, (#3) homework exercises, and (#4) section quizzes.
