Messersmith: Intermediate Algebra with P.O.W.E.R. Learning, 2nd edition
The Developmental Math with P.O.W.E.R. Learning series by Sherri Messersmith, Nathalie M. Vega-Rhodes, and Robert S. Feldman represents a best-of-all-worlds approach to mathematics education for college and university students at the developmental level. Now in its 2nd edition, this series spans the full sequence of Prealgebra through Intermediate Algebra, combining rigorous mathematical content developed and refined through years of classroom experience with a research-based framework designed to foster the ongoing development of students’ study skills and habits—a program that not only puts students on a path to mastering content in their current courses, but also sets them up for longer-term academic and professional success. A new package of digital resources available to users of the 2nd edition, carefully built to align with the content in all print materials, further ensures that student achievement will occur at a high level in every classroom setting.

SmartBook
Available within Connect, SmartBook actively tailors content to the individual student- The more a student interacts with SmartBook, the better it gets to know what they know and what they don’t know, helping students to maximize study time. By providing students with a safe place to make mistakes, showing them the areas they need to work on most, and by giving them consistent, personalized feedback at the exact moment they need it, SmartBook helps them to bridge their knowledge gaps and come to class prepared.
