Elementary Statistics (11th Edition)

Mario Triola’s Elementary Statistics remains the market-leading introductory statistics textbook because it engages readers with an abundance of real data in the examples, applications, and exercises. Statistics is all around us in our daily lives, and Triola is dedicated to finding new real-world examples and data sets that make sense for today’s reader. The Eleventh Edition contains more than 2000 exercises, 87% of which are new, and 82% of which use real data. It also contains hundreds of examples, 86% of which are new and 94% of which use real data. By analyzing real data, students are able to connect abstract concepts to the world at large. As a result, they gain conceptual understanding and learn to think statistically, using the same methods that professional statisticians employ.

Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally (7th Edition) "It is fun to figure out the puzzle of how children go about making sense of mathematics and then how to help teachers help kids." John A. Van de Walle, Late of Virginia Commonwealth University This is the philosophy behind Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally. John A. Van de Walle wrote this book to help students understand mathematics and become confident in their ability to teach the subject to children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Although he could not have foreseen the changes in mathematics teaching over the last three decades, he was at the forefront of the movement towards a constructivist view of teaching, or teaching developmentally. Constructivism says that children construct their own knowledge. They are not blank slates waiting to absorb whatever the teacher tells them. Teachers must understand both mathematics itself and how students learn mathematics in order to teach it effectively. Learning through problem solving is another major theme of this book. Students solve problems not just to apply mathematics, but also to learn new mathematics.Effective problems will take into account where students are, the problematic or engaging aspect of the problem must be due to the mathematics that the students are to learn and not be diluted by non-mathematical activities such as cutting or pasting, and the problem must require justifications and explanations for answers and methods. Learning then becomes an outcome of the problem solving process. The book also addresses in more detail than any other book on the market the effect that the trends of standards-based education, increased pressure to test, and increased teacher accountability have had on teaching mathematics. He addresses the 2000 NCTM Standards in depth, in Chapter 1 on Teaching Mathematics in the Era of the NCTM Standards, through the NCTM icon that appears in the margins throughout the text, and in two appendices in the back of the book. Chapter 5 on Building Assessment into Instruction has also been heavily revised to focus on increased testing pressure, creating more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and including assessments for students with special needs.Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally is a book for doing math today--for both students who want to become teachers, and the students they will eventually teach. New To This Edition: NEW! Revises Chapter 5 on assessment--Discusses increased testing pressure and accountability, adds more information on equitable assessments, creates more explicit links between objectives and assessment, and includes assessments for students with special needs. NEW! Updates the Literature Connections feature to remove all out of print children's literature and include more non-fiction, poetry, and other types of readings. NEW! Weaves the Focal Points throughout the chapters as well as links them with the Big Ideas feature--Focal Points have also been added to the Appendix. NEW! Includes expanded coverage of working with diverse learners. NEW! Gives greater emphasis on dealing with math anxiety.

Sarah Peyton 10 inch Cool Sensations Full Memory Foam Mattress Have a more peaceful sleep with the Sarah Peyton Memory Foam Cool Sensations Mattress featuring a patented ventilation system with unparalled breathability. Its open, memory foam cell structure allows cool air to displace warm air allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Topped with a 2.5 inch, this thick, 4lb, "Cool Wave" Memory Foam top layer circulates air using unique air flow ducts. The 3" core foam support structure contains air flow channels that directs cool air throughout the mattress allowing you to sleep better and more comfortably. The 4.5" high- density supportive base foam helps mold your body and eliminates the uncomfortable pressure-points and motion transfer common in most innerspring mattresses. The Sarah Peyton sleep system is produced using a system which eliminates impurities and is the most environmentally-friendly foaming process available. Mattress never needs turning and can be used with any existing box springs or platform bed. The thick, 10-inch Memory Foam Mattress is composed of a 4-lb density, which allows for a more supportive sleep, alleviating muscle and joint pains. Overlaid with a non-flammable fabric, the Sarah Peyton Memory Foam Mattress meets all flammability requirements. The aloe-vera treated cover is easily removable, and is machine washable and dryable.Due to the vacuum seal, there may be a slight odor upon opening. Usually, allowing the mattress to air out in a ventilated area will remove the odor. Please allow up to 48 hours for the Memory Foam to fully expand within a unconfined area. Due to the nature of Memory Foam, the firmness level of every item is unique. Please be advised that even similar products may produce different firmness results. Full-size mattress measures 75 inches long x 54 inches wide x 10 inches high.
