More Description
Beginning and Intermediate Algebra by Sherri Messersmith has been widely implemented in schools across the country. The 4th edition has been updated and expanded to include a study skills component. The P.O.W.E.R. framework is integrated into each section and new study strategies and exercises are tied to every chapter. The conversational writing style, practical applications, innovative student resources and expanded Connect Math content makes this an appealing and very teachable option for faculty.
The P.OW.E.R. Framework
What makes P.O.W.E.R. a unique tool for the classroom? A major challenge in developmental courses is that students at this level struggle with basic study skills and habits. Maybe this is one of their first college courses or perhaps they are adults returning to school after a long absence. Either way, many of the individuals taking this course don't know how to be good students. Instructors often don't have the time, the resources or the expertise to teach success skills AND the math concepts. The new team of Messersmith, Perez and Feldman offer a scientifically based approach to meet this challenge. The P.O.W.E.R. Learning Framework was developed by successful author, psychologist, student success instructor and researcher, Bob Feldman. It is a method of accomplishing any task using five simple and consistent steps. Prepare. Organize. Work. Evaluate. Rethink. This framework is integrated at every level of the text to help students successfully learn math concepts while at the same time developing habits that will serve them well throughout their college careers and in their daily lives.
