A Quick Quiz at the end of each exercise set contains three problems that cover the essential content of that section. This simple assessment tool measures whether students are ready for new material or need further review. A Concept Check question at the end of each Quick Quiz asks students to explain in their own words how and why a method works, forcing them to analyze problems and reflect on the mathematical concepts. All of these are assignable in MyLab Math, and the Concept Check question utilizes the Guided Exercise type.

Classroom Quizzes in the Annotated Instructor''s Edition parallel every Quick Quiz, which allows instructors to quickly assess the understanding of the class at any point in the chapter.

If students need extra help on any test problems, they can watch the Chapter Test Prep Videos, where all test solutions are worked out on video. The Math Coach follows every chapter test and provides helpful hints and coaching on the most difficult concepts and exercise types in that chapter. The authors act as the student''s tutor, guiding them through the trickiest problems. Examples similar to the Math Coach problems have been noted throughout the chapter with side-by-side examples and practice problems that encourage students to try the practice problem on the spot.
