Chemistry: Matter and Its Changes is a solid, reliable student-friendly book perfect for AP* Chemistry. In the new fifth edition the worked examples are thoroughly revised. Effective problem solving requires conceptual understanding, and developing strong problem solving skills is essential for anyone studying the sciences. A three-step approach to solving chemistry problems has been integrated to each example: Analysis, Solution, and Is This Answer Reasonable? The text's informal writing style, emphasis on problem solving, and state-of-the-art media package make this book an ideal fit. The authors' goal was to create a complete package, which would challenge the better-prepared students and provide support to the lesser-prepared students, giving all students a chance to succeed.
With the addition of CATALYST mastery assignments to WileyPLUS, students now have the opportunity to develop even stronger problem solving skills and deeper conceptual understanding. CATALYST empowers students to develop the understanding of essential chemistry concepts needed to work problems they may never have seen before (as opposed to mimicking examples). They develop an understanding of how to assemble the information they need to begin more complex problems and employ strategies to move through them. This skill is absolutely critical in chemistry; students must be able to analyze and approach novel problems and work their way through them.

Math Survival Guide, 2nd Edition, by Appling
Thoroughly revised and updated, the Second Edition of this student-friendly Math Survival Guide provides basic training on fundamental math skills—skills students need to survive and succeed in courses such as chemistry, physics, and geology. Offering the right amount of depth on the right selection of topics, the book provides quick, clear, and accessible guidance on basic algebraic methods, right when students need it most. In addition to a full range of mathematics topics, Math Survival Guide includes special chapters focused on helping students improve their problem solving and study skills.
Guided Inquiry Experiments for General Chemistry, 1st Edition by Nancy Kerner and Ram Lamba
Inquiry Experiments for General Chemistry: Practical Problems and Applications is a lab manual designed for students in introductory chemistry courses. The manual is the result of several projects funded primarily by the National Science Foundation and developed chiefly at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey, Inter American University of Puerto Rico, Metropolitan Campus, and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The experi-ments have been thoroughly tested with undergraduate non-chemistry and non-science majors as well as with pre-med, engineering, science (including chemistry), and future teachers majors. Successful use of the ex-periments has occurred outside the institutions of origin including secondary institutions, community colleges and universities.
General Chemistry I as a Second Language: Mastering the Fundamental Skills
Many students and instructors are overwhelmed by the vast amount of content and concepts presented in General Chemistry. Students often emerge from the course with little understanding of chemical concepts and must be retaught in subsequent courses. This supplemental text can be paired with any General Chemistry title.
