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.
If you are searching for an independent algebra program or a supplement to teach specific algebra concepts, Summit Math is worth your consideration. Using the guided discovery method, students make their own connections as they learn to master each scenario before moving on to the next. Each section builds on previous concepts already learned. The first half of the book incorporates the guided discovery approach, while the latter half uses extra practice sheets to improve understanding of the topics. Each section has an answer key. A placement test and pacing guide is provided for each level. The author states this is a complete program teaching typical topics in the Algebra I and II sequence while preparing students for standardized testing. If students feel they need extra instruction, a video subscription is available from the publisher. Free downloadable tests and a more detailed version of the answer key are also available at the publisher's website.
My eighth grader is doing great with this Algebra curriculum. There is no lesson component to it; rather the problems start simple and slowly build (along with brief notes and formulas when necessary) so that the student discovers how the concepts work and continue building their knowledge until, before they know it, they are solving far more complex problems. Even though this seems to be designed to not require teacher involvement, I always sit with her and guide her when she is getting stuck so that she doesn't get frustrated, so I would recommend some level of teacher involvement. There is an answer key in the work that sometimes just gives an answer and other times gives a brief explanation; depending on the problem.

Specific to percents and rates and we are covering that.
