How the chapters are organized

The book moves one chapter at a time through Sets, Relations, and Discrete Structures; Symbolic Logic, Truth Tables, and Valid Arguments; Methods of Mathematical Proof; Mathematical Induction, Recursion, and Iteration; Number Theory and Modular Arithmetic; Counting, Combinatorics, and the Pigeonhole Principle; Graphs, Vertices, Edges, and Their Representations; Trees, Networks, and Optimization Algorithms; Linear Programming and Discrete Optimization; Discrete Models, Matrices, and Algorithms; Axiomatic Systems, Finite Geometries, and Non-Euclidean Geometry; and The History and Cultural Development of Mathematics. Every chapter ends with worksheets and a full answer key, and the final chapter holds the two practice tests with an answer sheet, answer key and detailed explanations.

Who it helps

Designed for future teachers preparing for the TExES Mathematical Proof and Reasoning (test 235) in Texas. It also works for teacher-education students, substitute and paraprofessional staff moving toward full licensure, and tutors supporting candidates — anyone who wants a clear path through the mathematics without gaps.

How to study with it

Pick a steady pace — a chapter every few days works well — and finish each chapter’s worksheets before moving on. Use the answer keys to find exactly where a solution went wrong. Finish with the two practice tests, one per sitting, and read every explanation, including the ones you got right.
