TI-83/T-84 Plus for Algebra A Combined Approach





Beginning and Intermediate Algeba and the TI-83/T-84 Plus for Algebra A Combined Approach

By Elayn Martin-Gay




Customer Reviews

The seller lacks communication skills.3
Seller was real slow to ship and did not communicate until it was too late. The seller was asked to cancel the order because they did not ship the book till after school had starded. I was forced to buy another book. Then the seller shipped the item and never once resopnded to my emails.

Typical Text Book3
What can I say? This book is neither good, nor bad. It is just your typical textbook, written by the typical math teacher. It could do with a lot more explanations, but I guess that's what going to class is all about.

About This Book

Algebra A Combined Approach, Second Edition is intended for a two semester course in introductory and intermediate algebra. It was written to provide a solid foundation in algebra for students who might have had no previous experience in algebra. Specific care was taken to ensure that students have the most up-to-date relevant text preparation for their next mathematics course or for nonmathematical courses that require an understanding of algebraic fundamentals. I have tried to achieve this by writing a user-friendly text that is keyed to objectives and contains many worked-out examples. As suggested by the AMATYC Crossroads Document and the NCTM Standards (plus Addenda), real-life and real-data applications, data interpretation, conceptual understanding, problem solving, writing, cooperative learning, appropriate use of technology, mental .mathematics, number sense, critical thinking, and geometric concepts are emphasized and integrated throughout the book.

The many factors that contributed to the success of the first edition have been retained. In preparing the Second Edition, I considered comments and suggestions of colleagues, students, and many users of the prior edition throughout the country.

Algebra A Combined Approach, Second Edition is part of a series of texts that can include Basic College Mathematics, Second Edition; Prealgebra, Third Edition; Introductory Algebra, Second Edition; and Intermediate Algebra, Second Edition. Throughout the series pedagogical features are designed to develop student proficiency in algebra and problem solving, and to prepare students for future courses.

Key Pedagogical Features and Changes in the Second Edition

Readability and Connections. I have tried to make the writing style as clear as possible while still retaining the mathematical integrity of the content. When a new topic is presented, an effort has been made to relate the new ideas to those that students may already know. Constant reinforcement and connections within problem-solving strategies, data interpretation, geometry, patterns, graphs, and situations from everyday life can help students gradually master both new and old information. In addition, each section begins with a list of objectives covered in the section. Clear organization of section material based on objectives further enhances readability.

Problem-Solving Process. This is formally introduced in Chapter 2 with a four-step process that is integrated throughout the text. The four steps are Understand, Translate, Solve, and Interpret. The repeated use of these steps in a variety of examples shows their wide applicability. Reinforcing the steps can increase students' comfort level and confidence in tackling problems.

Applications and Connections. Every effort was made to include as many interesting and relevant real-life applications as possible throughout the text in both worked-out examples and exercise sets. In the Second Edition, the applications have been thoroughly revised and updated, and the number of applications has increased. The applications help to motivate students and strengthen their understanding of mathematics in the real world. They show connections to a wide range of fields including agriculture, allied health, anthropology, art, astronomy, biology, business, chemistry, construction, consumer affairs, earth science, education, entertainment, environmental issues, finance, geography, government, history, medicine, music, nutrition, physics, sports, travel, and weather. Many of the applications are based on recent real data. Sources for data include newspapers, magazines, publicly held companies, government agencies, special-interest groups, research organizations, and reference books. Opportunities for obtaining your own real data are also included. See the Applications Index on page xx.

Practice Problems. Throughout the text, each worked-out example has a parallel Practice Problem placed next to the example in the margin. These invite students to be actively involved in the learning process before beginning the end-of-section exercise set. Practice Problems immediately reinforce a skill after it is developed. Answers appear at the bottom of the page for quick reference.

Concept Checks. These margin exercises are appropriately placed throughout the text. They allow students to gauge their grasp of an idea as it is being explained in the text. Concept Checks stress conceptual understanding at the point of use and help suppress misconceived notions before they start. Answers appear at the bottom of the page.

Increased Integration of Geometry Concepts. In addition to the traditional topics in introductory and intermediate algebra courses, this text contains a strong emphasis on problem solving and geometric concepts, which are integrated throughout. The geometry concepts presented are those most important to a student's understanding of algebra, and I have included many applications and exercises devoted to this topic. These are marked with the geometry icon. Also, geometric figures, and a review of angles, lines, and special triangles are covered in the appendices.

Helpful Hints. Helpful Hints contain practical advice on applying mathematical concepts. These are found throughout the text and strategically placed where students are most likely to need immediate reinforcement. Helpful Hunts are highlighted for quick reference.

Visual Reinforcement of Concepts. The Second Edition contains a wealth of graphics, models, photographs, and illustrations to visually clarify and reinforce concepts. These include new and updated bar graphs, line graphs, calculator screens, application illustrations, and geometric figures.

Calculator and Graphing Calculator Explorations. These optional explorations offer point-of-use instruction, through examples and exercises, on the proper use of scientific and graphing calculators as tools in the mathematical problem-solving process. Placed appropriately throughout the text, Calculator and Graphing Calculator Explorations also reinforce concepts learned in the corresponding section and motivate discovery-based learning.

Additional exercises building on the skill developed in the Explorations may be found in exercise sets throughout the text. Exercises requiring a calculator are marked with the calculator icon. Exercises requiring a graphing calculator are marked with the calculator icon. An Introduction to Using a Graphing Utility is included in the appendix.

Study Skills Reminders. New Study Skills Reminder boxes are integrated throughout the text. They are strategically placed to constantly remind and encourage students as they hone their study skills. A new Section 1.1, Tips on Success in Mathematics, provides an overview of the Study Skills needed to succeed in math. These are reinforced by the Study Skills Reminder boxes throughout the text.

Focus On. Appropriately placed throughout each chapter, these are divided into Focus on Mathematical Connections, Focus on Business and Career, Focus on the Real World, and Focus on History. They are written to help students develop effective habits for engaging in investigations of other branches of mathematics, understanding the importance of mathematics in various careers and in the world of business, and seeing the relevance of mathematics in both the present and past through critical thinking exercises and group activities.

Chapter Highlights. Found at the end of each chapter, these contain key definitions, concepts, and examples to help students understand and retain what they have learned and help them organize their notes and study for tests.

Chapter Activity. These features occur once per chapter at the end of the chapter, often serving as a chapter wrap-up. For individual or group completion, the Chapter Activity, usually hands-on or data-based, complements and extends to concepts of the chapter, allowing students to make decisions and interpretations and to think and write about algebra.

Integrated Reviews. These "mid-chapter reviews" are appropriately placed once per chapter. Integrated Reviews allow students to review and assimilate the many different skills learned separately over several sections before moving on to related material in the chapter.

Pretests. Each chapter begins with a pretest that is designed to help students identify areas where they need to pay special attention in the upcoming chapter.

Chapter Review and Test. The end of each chapter contains a review of topics introduced in the chapter. The Chapter Review offers exercises that are keyed to sections of the chapter. The Chapter Test is a practice test and is not keyed to sections of the chapter.

Cumulative Review. These features are found at the end of each chapter (except Chapters R and 1). Each problem contained in the Cumulative Review is an earlier worked example in the text that is referenced in the back of the book along with the answer. Students who need to see a complete worked-out solution, with explanation, can do so by turning to the appropriate example in the text.

Student Resource Icons. At the beginning of each section, videotape and CD, tutorial software, Prentice Hall Tutor Center, and solutions manual icons are displayed. These icons help reinforce that these learning aids are available should students wish to use them to help them review concepts and skills at their own pace. These items have direct correlation to the text and emphasize the text's methods of solution.

Functional Use of Color and New Design. Elements of this text are highlighted with color or design to make it easier for students to read and study. Special care has been taken to use color within solutions to examples or in the art to help clarify, distinguish, or connect...

Keyboard for TI-83 and TI-83 Plus Silver


Texas Instruments Keyboard for TI-83 and TI-83 Plus Silver Calculators


Customer Reviews

No programming keys?3
I was rather excited when I heard about this keyboard, however now I'm not so sure. I assumed it would have some keys needed for TI-BASIC programming, at a minimum the STO key would be nice. But alas, it doesn't, just your standard keys. If you can't afford a laptop, I guess this would be nice for taking notes, but for TI-Basic I guess I'll stick to my laptop and TI-Graph software.only one out there4
if u want a keyboard for ur calculator, i'm pretty sure you're gonna have to settle for this one. ya, it has all the spiffy buttons like the letters (which aren't spiffy at all) and that's about it. No programming buttons or nuttin'. It's kinda pricy but it's the same everywhere.

It also comes w/ some cool software that is like notepad for calculators so u can save and manage your files. It's easy to set up except u have to download a new OS (operating system for the technically challenged) for the calculator.

Sweet for taking notes for a test u can use ur calculator on...not that i'm suggesting u can cheat or anything

overall good accessory for the calculator finatic

Terrific product, easy-to-use, great addition to TI 835
This keyboard is a great addition to my TI 83S+. I already have a laptop, but this is much easier, lighter and quicker to use in class. And I have the TI 83 with me anyway for the class I originally bought it for. Now, with the light weight keyboard I walk into other meetings/classes and in the space of two-three seconds it is up and "running" vs. my laptop friends who are just turning there laptop on or still waiting on it to complete loading. I was worried about the size of the font in the screen on the TI 83. No need to worry, it is very easy to see and is actually a delight. As for a note taker, I disagree with one of the other raters. The NoteFolio has menus and all and as a note-taker it seems sophisticated. The TI 83 has lots of room for memory and you can read it later or load it into your computer at home/apt. to print. The keyboard is full size and unlike other compacts I have used (my palm pilot GoType keyboard is much smaller). When I use this keyboard (for the TI 83) it is easy just as on my desktop at home. In fact I just type away. I recommend this to all. Real good way to avoid purchasing a laptop to take to class. I think I could even use this in the library to take notes! Again, one of its great advantages is it's light weight, ease in carrying, and use issue. I don't think you will regret this purchase.

Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphing Calculator - Orange

Customer Reviews

I love it!5
I recently ordered this calculator and recieved it a few days ago. The variety of things that can be done with this calculator is almost endless in my opinion and I'm sure that it will meet all of my needs. I liked the fact that the face of the calculator was all one color. Orange is a good color although I would have preferred blue. I purchased it at a significantly lower price, I believe it came out to be $112 including shipping and handling. What drew me to this calculator was the fact that it's the same type that was used in my pre-cal class. If you're going to purchase this product, I recommend that you look through the other options because while it is a nice calculator, I don't think its worth $200 plus shipping.

Great Graphic Calculator Product!5
During my college calculus class, I found this calculator extremely beneficial. It is fast, and it contains almost every program or feature you will ever need. Not only in my calculus class, but in chemistry, trigonometry, and many others. I would highly recommend this!

Worth the little extra money5
For the twenty dollar or so difference over the lesser model this is an excellent buy.

EASY BEST BUY4

Some Reviews of Texas Instruments Ti 83 Plus Graphing Calculator User.

User’s sound is Good

“I'm not a math whiz, but ever since I squeaked by calculus in college, I vowed someday to really understand it. Recently I bought a calc course for non-whizzes and I figured it would be helpful to have graphing capability. The Ti 83 Plus Calculator was a great find. The manual is detailed on every aspect of its operation with examples of each use. I'm learning more than calculus by going through the manual. The calculator itself is laid out well with keys big enough for big fingers. The graphing screen is clear and "zoomable" so you can work with very small increments. I think you can get better ones for more money but I love my 83+.”
James C. Dolan

“I purchased this calculator for a college class and had a little trouble getting used to it. The calculator itself was very nice, but needed some more help with effectively using it.”
B. Reed

“This calculator is great. It has all the features I needed for my Statisics class. Great Buy!! “
Toya

“The product was in excellent condition and arrived sooner than we thought. My daughter has been using it in class every day since she received it and is very happy.”
