For Pathways courses; a one-semester alternative to the traditional two-semester developmental algebra sequence for non-STEM students. Critical thinking in context - an alternate path through algebra Math Lit by Almy and Foes prepares non-STEM students to move directly into liberal arts math or introductory statistics, while also preparing STEM students for intermediate algebra. Not all students need the same math skills depending on their ultimate course of study. This alternate pathway replaces the traditional developmental algebra sequence to accelerate non-STEM students and provide them with a deep understanding of just the math skills they will need for their subsequent course. Emphasizing contextual problem solving, the authors approach each topic with two questions: how does it work and how can I use it? Students work through activities and explorations to gain a greater conceptual understanding of the four thematic strands: numeracy, proportional reasoning, algebraic reasoning, and functions. Topics from geometry and statistics are also included. Changes to the 3rd Edition include all-important updates to contexts and problems to reflect current events. Added support includes a new Cycle 0 to review prealgebra content, refinements within sections to improve flow while maintaining the active learning approach, and new resources in MyLab(R) Math.
