Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra

Prealgebra and Introductory Algebra, 4th Edition, provides foundational instruction in developmental arithmetic and early algebra. Part of the Bittinger Worktext Series, the textbook emphasizes objective-based, guided learning to build fundamental mathematical understanding.

The volume addresses arithmetic operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions, and decimals, while connecting these skills to introductory algebraic expressions and equation solving. Core topics also encompass ratios, proportions, percent applications, elementary geometry, and data interpretation using charts and graphs.

Designed for students in traditional lecture, hybrid, lab-based, or online classrooms, the text combines guided explanations with mobile learning resources, applied problem solving, and targeted exercise sets to reinforce practice.
