Elayn Martin-Gay's strong conviction that every student can succeed shapes her clear, accessible writing, inspires her constant pedagogical innovations, and contributes to the popularity and effectiveness of her video resources. Algebra 2, part of her High School Series, contains videos and content personally authored and presented by Elayn.
- Each section begins with a list of Objectives that are also repeated at the place of discussion within the section. When applicable, under the list of objectives, there is a list of new Vocabulary words. Throughout the section, each new vocabulary word is highlighted at the place of the definition.
- Helpful Hints contain practical advice on applying mathematical concepts. Strategically placed where students are most likely to need immediate reinforcement, they help students avoid common trouble areas and mistakes.
- Detailed step-by-step examples provide guidance for students.
- Practice exercises are paired with each example to actively involve students in the learning process.
- The Video Organizer is designed to help students take notes and practice work exercises while watching the Interactive Lecture Series (available in MyMathLab for School). All content in the Video Organizer is presented in the same order as it is presented in the videos, making it easy for students to create a course notebook and build good study habits.
- Interactive Lecture Series, featuring textbook author Elayn Martin-Gay, provides students with active learning at their own pace. The videos are available in MyMathLab for School and offer these resources and more.
