Carson's Prealgebra teaches students not only the content of prealgebra, but also how to succeed in their courses. The author's goal is to help build students' confidence, understanding, and appreciation of math and basic skills by giving students a framework in which they can excel. To help students form better study habits, the book introduces and integrates a unique study plan that uses color, note-taking and test-taking tips, time-management suggestions, and a learning styles inventory to provide students with real structure and guidance for this and other courses. The wealth of relevant applications throughout the text truly speaks to today's students and motivates them to learn, and trivia bites and historical notes illustrate where the mathematical concepts come from so that students relate these concepts to their everyday lives.
