    • Textbook Features
      Our students struggle with completing math exercises from beginning to end. They are unfamiliar with mathematical thought process and the techniques involved. A systematic approach is needed to help students learn how to think. This textbook’s core design centers around a structured thinking process termed The PUPP Model (Plan, Understand, Perform, and Present). This process is found throughout the textbook in every guided example to help students develop a step-by-step problem-solving approach.
    • A Note on Rounding Rules
      The rules utilized in this textbook follow a very basic premise: no rounding until the final answer is achieved unless there is a logical reason to round an interim solution.
