“Empower your Students for Success†George Woodbury's Algebra Seriesempowers students for future success in college-level math courses through its early-and-often approach to functions and graphing, integrated study strategies, and quality exercise sets that encourage true conceptual understanding. The early-and-often approach to functionshelps students prepare for future math courses. A Study Skill Strategyis introduced in each chapter opener and then expanded upon throughout the chapter in the Building Your Study Strategyboxes that appear before each exercise set. Students can further develop their study skills with the Study Skills Workbook, written by Alan Bass, to accompany the Woodbury texts. Vocabulary Exercisesbegin each section of exercises and check student understanding of the basic vocabulary presented in the preceding section.

The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series fosters conceptual understanding by using relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters. It answers the common question “When will I ever use this?” Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life.

The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra program is designed to motivate students to “do the math”– at home or in the lab–and supports a variety of learning environments. The text is known for its two-column example format that provides annotations to the left of the algebra. These annotations explain what the authors are about to do in each step (instead of what was just done), just as an instructor would do.

Designed to prepare students for college algebra and some "service" math courses. Written to develop students' critical thinking and problem solving capabilities and make the math they learn in this course relevant to decision-making in real life. Topics are presented in an interesting and inviting format incorporating real world sourced data and modeling. Unique, enthusiastic approach, this text requires students to take an active role in studying mathematics. Focusing more on the mathematical process, students have abundant opportunities to make intuitive leaps to discover patterns helping them develop critical thinking skills as well as mathematical confidence. Placing an emphasis on the usefulness of algebra throughout, students discover mathematical concepts while en route to solving true-to-life problems.
