Ideal for adult learners who have been away from mathematics for awhile or who never really understood the first time around, this book offers an alternative to the traditional prealgebra or basic mathematics books that focus on drill and practice problems. Instead, it takes a "discovery" approach to learning concepts by using interesting and real-life problems from the world around us -- enjoyable problems that will simultaneously challenge, interest and entertain, and guide readers toward "active" problem solving in the "context" of real and thought provoking situations. Covers: Number Sense and Integers. Number Sense with Rational and Irrational Numbers. Percents, Ratio, and Proportion. Geometry and Measurement. Variable and Function Concepts. Probability and Statistics. Symbol Sense and Algebraic Problem Solving. For those needing a math review or a "fresh start" to math. Prealgebra: Journey Into a Mathematical World Preliminary Edition Sullivan, James / Sullivan, Jim, Prentice Hall<
