MyLab Math includes:

• a customisable Assignment Manager that you can use to set homework and quizzes, supported by a powerful gradebook which provides instant access to students’ progress and results.
• Hundreds of preloaded, automatically graded assignments which save instructors hours of marking time. Many of these exercises contain algorithmically generated values to ensure students get as much practice as they need.
• ‘Help Me Solve This’ hints which walk students through the problem with step-by-step help and feedback without giving away the answer, to guide them to a clear understanding of the subject.
• A wide range of video resources which bring the subject to life. NEW StatTalk Videos hosted by fun-loving statistician Andrew Vickers who takes to the streets of Brooklyn, NY to demonstrate important statistical concepts through interesting stories and real-life events. This series of videos and corresponding autograded questions will actually help students understand statistics. Australian Fusion videos feature Australian business people using statistics in their everyday life.
• StatCrunch, a web-based statistical software which allows users to share data sets, results and reports so that students can quickly and easily analyse data sets from exercises and the text. Users can access tens of thousands of shared data sets, create and conduct online surveys, perform complex analyses using the powerful statistical software, and generate compelling reports.
• Learning Catalytics, a "bring your own device" student engagement, assessment, and classroom intelligence system can be accessed inside MyLab Math.

Key features for students

• An eText version of Basic Business Statistics.
• Single sign-on through selected Learning Management Systems
• Personalised, Adaptive Study Plan! Because every student learns differently, a study plan is generated from each student’s results on a pre-test. Students can clearly see which topics they have mastered and, more importantly, which they need to work on.
• Unlimited practice with instant feedback! Automatically graded exercises, problems and applications– saving time and providing immediate, helpful feedback.
