Pre-Algebra Resources for Teachers

All Math 058 (Pre-Algebra) and Math 059 (Pre-Algebra w/ computer) will be using the new 3rd edition of the free open source online textbook Preparing for Algebra and Statistics by Matt Teachout. Here is the book and chapters in word and pdf. The OER license is CC-By, so instructors have permission to save, print, make copies, or add to any part of the book, as long as credit is given to the original author. If you are not from COC and are using the book, give Matt an email and let him know. We like to keep track of which schools are using the OER book and if they are using the book as is or have added material to it.
