The College Algebra Workbook is based on Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), a method for improving learning outcomes for students through its emphasis on team-based strategies.Such activities include group discussions and demonstration of analytic approaches for real-world problem-solving, which helps to enhance their understanding, foments curiosity, and hones study skills for their success in the entire course.Certain topics include an extra concept workshop. Each concept workshop offers students a special opportunity to learn, review or reinforce a mathematical idea they may have never seen or understood, or simply forgotten, yet which is fundamental to the higher-level mathematics coursework they are expected to learn. Although these additional topics may be considered optional, they are highly recommended. The use of this resource book facilitates the implementation of workshop activities and reinforces essential learning modes. The peer leader can apply the material included in this workbook for use during the workshop throughout the semester.Originally developed from courses at the Borough of Manhattan Community College and New York City College of Technology, both colleges of the City University of New York, and from courses at Prince George’s Community College in Maryland, these materials have been tested and provide students with many valuable tools for success.
