1. Guides to Problem Solving (GPS) illustrate the steps needed to solve a problem and provide a visual guide for students to use in solving future problems.
2. NEW! “Try It First” feature precedes the Solution section of each Sample Problem, encouraging students to work on the problem before reading the given Solution and helping them learn to recall new ideas.
3. NEW! Connect features specify information that relates the Given and Need sections in Analyze the Problems to help students identify and connect the components within a word problem and set up a solution strategy.
4. NEW! Follow-Up Stories provide follow-up to the discussion in the chapter opener and include application questions.
5. Analyze the Problems convert a word problem into components for problem solving. "
