This workbook was created by mathematics instructors at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is designed to lead students through Intermediate Algebra, and to help them develop a deep understanding of the concepts. The included curriculum is broken into twelve lessons. Each lesson includes the following components:

MINI-LESSON

• The Mini-Lesson is the main instructional component for each lesson.
• Ideas are introduced with practical applications.
• Worked Examples are provided for each topic in the Mini-Lesson. Read through these examples carefully. Use these as a guide for completing similar problems.
• Media Examples are to be completed by watching online videos and taking notes/writing down the problem as written by the instructor. Video links can be found at http://sccmath.wordpress.com/mat09x/ or may be located within the Online Homework Assessment System.
• You-Try problems help reinforce Lesson concepts and should be worked in the order they appear showing as much work as possible. Answers can be checked in Appendix A.
