AGS Mathematics Series
PRE-ALGEBRA Help students make a smooth transition from basic math to algebra. Content is written for the needs of the beginning algebra student. Provides students with the tools and the confidence they need to reach new levels in mathematics and to succeedin algebra. Covers decimals, fractions, integers, graphing, percents, geometry, and more.
ALGEBRA Provide students with all of the concepts and skills they need to succeed in a first-year algebra course. Correlated to NCTM Standards, the content provides students of all abilities with essential preparation in problem solving, calculator usage, and application lessons that demonstrate how algebra is integrated with related content areas such as geometry, probability, and statistics.
GEOMETRY Lead students to investigate the world of planes and solids with this text. Content goes beyond the basics of geometry to explore geometric solids, triangles, the Pythagorean Theorem, quadratic equations, length, area, and volume. Offers short, lively lessons that students can grasp easily. Calculator Practice exercises make use of the special features of graphing calculators. Students also learn to apply geometry to situations in their own lives.
ALGEBRA 2 Allow low-level learners to apply intermediate-level algebra concepts to everyday problems. Covers several methods for solving quadratic equations, such as factoring, completing the square, and graphing. The text also introduces trigonometry and exponential functions, which are vital concepts for real-world applications.
