Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.

Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral
Topics and concepts are repeated from level to level, adding more depth at each pass and connecting with review.
Conceptual/Topical
Focus is on the “why,” often with a unifying concept as well as specific skills; coverage may be broader.
Teacher Involvement
Low Teacher Involvement
Student-led materials; parent acts as a facilitator.
Medium Teacher Involvement
A mix of teacher-led time and independent student work.
High Teacher Involvement
Teacher-led lessons; may utilize discussions, hands-on activities and working together.

Using guided discovery, this worktext progresses
through each topic in a way that gradually builds up the complexity and allows
students to work at their own pace. Includes eleven sections, cumulative
review, and extra practice for each section. Students can use this program
after a standard pre-algebra course. 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 6: Systems of Linear Equations & Inequalities (2nd Edition)
In this book, students find the intersection point of two lines by looking at their graphs. They then learn that they can find the intersection point by using algebraic methods called substitution and elimination. They use these methods to solve a variety of scenarios that can be modeled by two variables and two equations. They also learn how to graph systems of linear inequalities. Near the end of the book, they analyze a variety of scenarios that involve linear systems, while also getting a preview of nonlinear systems, which is a topic they will learn more about in Algebra 2: Book 6. This book builds on Algebra 1: Book 2.
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.
