Objective: Guided Learning
The Bittinger Worktext Series recognizes that math hasn’t changed, but students—and the way they learn math—have. This latest edition continues the Bittinger tradition of objective-based, guided learning, while also integrating timely updates to the proven pedagogy. This edition has a greater emphasis on guided learning and helping students get the most out of all of the resources available, including new mobile learning resources, whether in a traditional lecture, hybrid, lab-based, or online course.
The new edition supports students with quality applications and exercises, a new MyMathGuide workbook and video program, and an updated MyMathLab course that brings it all together!
Teaching and Learning Experience
This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience for you and your students. Here’s how:
- Improve Results: MyMathLab® delivers proven results in helping students succeed and provides engaging experiences that personalize learning.
- Guide Students’ Learning: The Bittinger team helps today’s math students stay on task by guiding them to understand what to do and when.
