“Finally, a publisher that has listened to the experts and produced an effective and creative math teaching system that bridges the gap between high school and college mathematics...Bravo Pearson.”

–Richard Gruchalla (George Brown College)

Stepping it Up: Foundations for Success in Math is Pearson Canada’s groundbreaking project in college math education. When pedagogically rich resources from Pearson are combined with expert direction from college math educators, the result is a modular, flexible and comprehensive solution to helping students succeed in bridging the gap between high school and college math.

Stepping it Up is designed to meet the recommendations of the College Mathematics Project — an ongoing project funded by the province of Ontario to examine student math skills at the college level. With flexible delivery of printed content through Pearson’s Custom Library, in addition to an eText and responsive online homework and tutorials in the form of MyMathLab, Stepping it Up provides a solution for the delivery of foundation math remediation to students struggling with college math.
