Offering a uniquely modern, balanced approach, Tussy/Koenig's PREALGEBRA, 6th Edition, integrates the best of traditional and conceptual approaches with a new Look Alikes enhancement. Look Alikes help students compare and contrast problem types to understand the correct intent of questions and determine the necessary steps for solution. For many students, algebra is like a foreign language. Some students need instructional support translating Mathematical words, meanings, and how they apply to problem solving. Emphasizing the "language of algebra," the text's fully integrated learning process expands student reasoning abilities and teaches them how to read, write, and think mathematically. It blends instructional approaches that include vocabulary, practice, and well-defined pedagogy with an emphasis on reasoning, modeling, communication, and technology skills.

About the Authors

A nationally recognized educator and author, Diane Koenig actively shaped several textbooks, ancillaries and series. Since 1982 when she helped develop the Gustafson/Frisk series to her work on the Tussy/Koenig/Gustafson series, Diane s writing continues to reflect the expertise she gains from working with students in her Mathematics courses. Throughout her work, she integrates research-based strategies in Mathematics education. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Math Education from Illinois State University in 1980, and began her career at Rock Valley College in 1981, when she became the Math Supervisor for a newly formed Personalized Learning Center.

Earning her Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics from Northern Illinois University in 1984, Diane, enjoys the distinction of being the first woman to become a full-time faculty member in the Mathematics department for Rock Valley College. In addition to being awarded AMATYC's Excellence in Teaching Award in 2015, she was chosen as the Rock Valley College Faculty of the Year by her peers in 2005, and the next year she was awarded the NISOD Teaching Excellence Award and the Illinois Mathematics Association of Community Colleges Award for Teaching Excellence. In addition to her teaching, she is an active member of the Illinois Mathematics Association of Community Colleges (IMACC), serving on the board of directors, on a state-level task force rewriting the course outlines for the Developmental Mathematics courses, and as the Association's newsletter editor.

Alan Tussy received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Redlands and a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from California State University, Los Angeles. He has taught across a variety of course and curriculum areas from pre-algebra to differential equations at Arcadia High School and Citrus Community College in Glendora, CA. He has authored best-selling paperback and hardcover developmental mathematic series now in their 6th editions published by Cengage. An extraordinary author, he is dedicated to his students' success and is a relentlessly meticulous and creative visionary who maintains a keen focus on the greatest challenges students of today face in mathematics. He is a well-received conference speaker and has recently focused on mentoring and counseling the next generation of mathematics instructors.
Industry Reviews
"I like how the examples are referenced in the Guided Practice problems. The self-checks and teacher examples are helpful. The chapter reviews are set-up nicely. The addition of the medical applications to the conversion sections is a great addition."
"It's mostly easy to read and well written. I can refer my students to the text and the worked examples to help them with specific problem types. The problem sets are good, I can find plenty of practice for the types of problems I want my students to be able to do on the test."
"1. Design makes it easy for students to learn2. Examples and homework problems are of an appropriate level, and help the student to effectively practice the concepts. 3. Each section is a manageable amount of material for one or two class days."
