Select “Student Edition” to access the actual student pages. Once the textbook is

the “Personal Math Trainer” icon on any page of the book. You can get to the page
number you would like to see quickly by entering the page number in this box on the
top right section of your screen.

Once the Personal Math Trainer opens, you have several options for support. Sample problems from
that section will be displayed and students have the options of a “Video Tutor”, “Step-by-Step”
example, to “View Example” or to print the question. Video Tutor has a person demonstrating and
talking through solving a problem. Step-by-Step will allow students to attempt the problem broken
down to smaller steps. View Example will allow students to see an example solved. Textbook takes
students back to their book page. Print allows students to print the problem being viewed on the
screen.
Most sections have several problems that address each of the topics from that section of the textbook (3-15 problems). Students
also have the “try another” option after the solution to a problem is viewed.
