This book establishes a solid math foundation for future teachers. Thoroughly revised with a clean, engaging design, the new Tenth Edition of Musser, Peterson, and Burger's best-selling textbook focuses on one primary goal: helping students develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts so they can teach with knowledge and confidence. The components in this complete learning program—from the textbook, to the e-Manipulative activities, to the Children's Videos, to the online problem-solving tools, resource-rich website and Enhanced WileyPLUS—work in harmony to help achieve this goal. WileyPLUS sold separately from text.
