Críticas: "I like the frequency of the exercises. Rather than tackling several concepts or definitions before an exercise set, the author explains and then asks for participation." "(This book fits the way I want to teach my course) because I want students to learn the concepts of mathematics and not just memorize procedures... (The greatest advantage of this book's organization is that) students LEARN and UNDERSTAND math." "This book is an excellent bridge between basic arithmetic and algebra... Most of my students are in the prealgebra class because they fear algebra. This book has helped diminish those fears." "(One of the greatest strengths of this book is that it) is not overpowering with a lot of extraneous information. It explains a concept and then provides problems for the student to work." "The problem sets are very generous and the number of examples excellent. There are ample opportunities for practice and understanding." "There is a circular motion in which the topics are introduced, brought back in a slightly different manner, and brought back yet again. This will serve to reinforce the material being presented." "There is much more motivation for the students when actual applications are discussed right from the beginning." "The non-traditional organization is a breath of fresh air. Hurray for this author for writing a text with a new approach." "Crazy effusiveness: "This author is on the beginning of a new wave for the future in mathematics. Thanks to this author for being brave enough to move beyond traditional approaches (that often do not work for a non-traditional student)." "One of my biggest complaints about a prealgebra course is that it often just regurgitates in the same manner the arithmetic that students have already seen for many years... This book teaches new material from page one and also offers the opportunity for students to review arithmetic." "Traditional books that do not use fresh approaches encourage the students to drop the class. We need more texts such as this one to entice students to want to learn mathematics and come to the realization that there is something captivating about math."
