Summit Math Algebra 1 Book 6: Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities

By Alex Joujan

This textbook series is designed to be a dynamic classroom companion, supporting both full-class instruction and independent learning, empowering students to learn at their own pace, whether working individually or collaboratively. The author makes each concept easy to understand and engages students in the process of building genuine understanding, rather than memorizing formulas without knowing why they work. With careful pacing, clear explanations, and an answer key for detailed feedback each step of the way, the uniquely scaffolded approach allows students to learn math anywhere, at school or at home.

Written by a teacher with over 20 years of experience, each feature is designed to benefit students. Published as separate books instead of a single textbook, students feel a sense of achievement when they finish each book, making learning feel less intimidating. Each lightweight book has 2 parts. The first half uses small steps to guide students through the process of constructing each concept, while the second half provides additional practice to reinforce learning and improve retention. Every section includes an answer key to provide teacher-like feedback each step of the way. This curriculum is named Summit Math to reflect the author's belief that learning is like hiking. Anyone can reach the summit, at their own pace, if they keep taking small steps.

Book description:
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.
