To help students succeed in learning math at school or at home, Summit Math books start with simple, foundational concepts and build on those ideas in small steps. Written by a math teacher with 16+ years of classroom experience, this series is designed to help students learn at different paces.
Each book is split into 2 parts: 1) Guided Discovery Scenarios, and 2) Homework and Extra Practice Scenarios. The Guided Discovery Scenarios gradually develop new concepts, building on previously learned topics. The Homework and Extra Practice Scenarios improve your understanding and increase your ability to retain what you have learned. Each part has a separate Answer Key, which is included to promote learning. When you finish each scenario, you can check the Answer Key to see if you are ready to move on or if you need more guidance. Book description:This books builds on the introduction to rates at the end of Algebra 1: Book 1. Students learn that a constant rate of change produces a linear relationship. They learn about x- and y-intercepts and they graph equations in Standard Form. After they learn about slopes of lines, the book introduces them to equations in Slope-Intercept Form and guides them through scenarios that include graphing lines in that form and writing equations to model linear relationships. Students also learn about parallel and perpendicular lines. Near the end of the book, they learn how to graph linear inequalities. Book 2 Contents:
