Synopsis "Summit Math Algebra 2 Book 7: Exponential Functions "
Learn math in a guided discovery format. These "teaching textbooks" are designed to let students learn at their own pace.Summit Math books are for curious students who want learning to feel like a journey. The scenarios are arranged to show how new math concepts are related to previous concepts they have already learned. Students naturally learn at different paces and these books help teachers manage flexible pacing in their classes.

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.Student testimonials:“This is the best way to learn math.”“Summit Math books are unlike typical textbooks. It doesn't matter how you learn or what speed you go at…you can learn at your own pace while still understanding all the material.”“Summit Math Books have guided me through algebra. They are the stepping stones of what it takes to think like a mathematician…”“I really enjoy learning from these books…they clearly demonstrate how concepts are built over other concepts.”“You don't just memorize, you actually understand it.”Parent testimonials:“Summit Math Books not only helped my daughter learn the math, they helped her to love learning math in and of itself! Summit Math books have a fun, self-paced way to explain math concepts…”“I am absolutely thrilled with this math program. The books are so well organized and the content builds from one lesson to the next.”“We are really impressed and grateful for our boys’ understanding of what the math means, not just how to get problems right…we should all learn to understand math this way.”“As the mother of a teenage daughter who previously had occasional difficulty in math, it was refreshing to watch her actually enjoy her math class and to understand the subject matter without struggling”“I have three kids that have used Summit Math. Using these books, they have more freedom to learn and explore at their own pace during class, with notes already incorporated within the book.”Teacher testimonials:“Summit Math allows students to work at their own pace which allows me the opportunity to provide individualized attention to those who need it…”“Summit Math emphasizes understanding concepts rather than memorizing rules. Students take ownership while acquiring the necessary skills to solve meaningful math problems…”"It has been a real benefit having problem sets that are explicitly designed to guide students through the development of their understanding of the how and why behind the concepts they are studying."See more testimonials at www.summitmathbooks.com.
