INTRODUCTION
The Instructor’s Resource Manual is designed to complement the Math Lit, 3nd edition instructor support package. The Annotated Instructor’s Edition and Instructor Guide provide assistance to instructors for each cycle as a whole, as well as each section. This manual provides additional assessment items to support instructors at the course level. The following are included:
• Quizzes (Forms A and B) for each half of each cycle
• Half Cycle Exams
• Exams (Forms A and B) for each cycle
• Final Exam
• Answers to quizzes and exams
Math Lit, 3nd Edition uses a balanced approach to assessment, placing equal emphasis on skills, concepts and applications. Two quiz forms are provided for the first and second halves of each cycle. Form A is similar to the recaps provided in the text. It includes three to four unrelated problems that assess skills, concepts, and applications from that part of the work text. Form B takes one scenario and asks several questions about it. Often, the questions are more involved and difficult. This form is suitable for an individual quiz but also can be used for a group quiz. These quizzes can be used alone or in tandem with exercises and quizzes provided in MyLab Math.
Half cycle exams are provided for the first and second halves of each cycle.
Two exam forms are provided for each cycle. Forms A and B are similar in approach and emphasis. Approximately half of each exam addresses skills while the remaining half addresses concepts and applications.
Answers for all quizzes and exams are included at the end of this manual.
Additional course-level instructor support items include the Instructor’s Solutions Manual and TestGen® testbank, available electronically.
