Description
Using guided discovery, this worktext progresses through each topic in a
way that gradually builds up the complexity. Students can use this program
after a standard pre-algebra course. Includes seven sections, two cumulative
reviews and extra practice. There are plenty of math problems and some are
comparable to standardized test problems. Answers are in the back for students
to check their work. ~ Gina
Publisher's Description of Summit Math Algebra 1 Book 1: Percents & Rates (2nd Edition)
This book guides students through a wide variety of percent scenarios. They review percentages as a way to express fractions and then they learn how to calculate percent increases and decreases. Students also learn how to write and solve percent equations that model percent relationships. Percent scenarios come in many forms, so this book shows students a wide variety of percent scenarios. Students learn about rates at the end of the book. They learn how rates can be interpreted from graphs and how rates can be expressed in equations. These rates scenarios are designed to prepare them for learning about linear equations in Algebra 1: Book 2.
Topics in this book:
- Introduction to percents
- Percent changes: increases and decreases
- Writing equations to calculate percents
- Various percent scenarios
- Cumulative review: part 1
- Introduction to rates
- Using graphs to calculate rates
- Rates in equations
- Cumulative review: part 2
- Answer Key
Category Description for Summit Math Algebra
If you are searching for an independent algebra program or a supplement to teach specific algebra concepts, this program is worth your consideration. Summit Math uses the guided discovery method, where students actively engage in a step-by-step process of truly understanding math while learning to solve and master each scenario before moving on to another.
The first half of the book uses scenarios to show students the process of constructing and solving each problem so they can make their own connections, while the latter half uses extra practice sheets to improve understanding of the topics. Each section has an answer key for immediate feedback. A placement test and pacing guide are provided for Algebra 1 and 2. If students feel that they need extra instruction, a video subscription can be purchased for these levels directly from the publisher. A new Advanced Algebra with Trigonometry set includes six books that have two units each. The videos and placement test for this course will come later this year.
