About the Book

These popular and proven workbooks help students build confidence before attempting end-of-chapter problems. They provide short problems and exercises that focus on developing a particular skill, often requiring students to draw or interpret sketches and graphs, or reason with math relationships. Jeopardy questions ask students to work backwards from equations to physical situations, enhancing their understanding and critical-thinking skills.
