Learn algebra through guided discovery. Summit Math books start with simple concepts and gradually increase in complexity. Written by a math teacher with 16+ years of classroom experience, these books are designed to help students learn at different paces. Learn more at summitmathbooks.com.

Homeschooling? Learn directly from the author with a subscription to step-by-step teaching videos ($9/mo. or $60/yr.).

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:
In this book, students learn that exponential patterns come from repeated multiplication. They also learn that exponential patterns can be viewed as repeated percentage changes. They investigate scenarios that involve both exponential growth and decay. They learn how to graph exponential functions. They also learn how to use systems of equations to find the equation for an exponential function when they know 2 points. This book builds on Algebra 1: Book 1 and Algebra 2: Book 6.
