Critical thinking in context

Math Lit, 3rd Edition prepares non-STEM students to move directly into liberal arts math or introductory statistics, while preparing STEM students for intermediate algebra. Emphasizing contextual problem solving, the authors approach each topic with two questions:‚ÄØ how does it work and‚ÄØhow can I use it?‚ÄØ Students work through‚ÄØactivities and explorations‚ÄØto gain a greater conceptual understanding of‚ÄØthe‚ÄØfour thematic strands:‚ÄØnumeracy, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functions. Topics from geometry and statistics are also included.‚ÄØ‚ÄØ
