The Worktext offers a concise presentation of algebra, along with a variety of exercises for frequent practice. It is designed to ensure that students are comfortable doing math without a mouse, and also helps keep their notes and work organized.

• The unbound and three-hole-punched format provides the start of a course notebook.
• The authors’ streamlined presentation of algebra helps students learn the material without overwhelming them.
• Ample space is provided for students to complete the “Your Turn” exercises and show their work in the Worktext before checking their answers in MyMathLab.
• In addition to the Your Turn and the traditional homework exercises, the authors have included On Your Own exercises that students are meant to complete on paper in their notebook.
• A fill-in-the-blank summary grid at the end of each section covers the key concepts and examples from that section. This feature is designed to encourage students to create their own study tool for each chapter.
