My children have been using Summit Math books for the past three years and I can’t say enough about these books. The books are thoughtful and purposefully laid out to support all types of learners so that when students feel comfortable with certain topics they can move ahead at their own pace and those students needing more support can find ample practice questions.

The Summit Math books are unlike typical textbooks. They allow students like myself to truly grasp the topics in each book.

Summit Math allows students to work at their own pace which allows me the opportunity to provide individualized attention to those who need it. The collaborative nature of the curriculum has students speaking the language of math.

Algebra 1 Series
Our daughter can go at her pace, use the videos if she is struggling, check her answers as she goes. We help when asked but it is nice to have so many options for her to succeed on her own.

The entire Summit Math series of workbooks has been extremely helpful for me on this journey. They are so insightful. They teach math vocabulary and have great problems that make you think through why things work. I am so grateful to the author and hope he will keep creating more of these books.

— MEET THE AUTHOR
Alex Joujan, M.S.Ed
Educator • Author • Knowles Senior Fellow
Alex has been helping kids learn for over 20 years. Since 2011, he has taught at The Pingry School in Basking Ridge, NJ, and received 2 teaching awards. In 2013, he started writing textbooks to help students learn at different paces. In 2017, he founded Summit Math — named to reflect that learning is like hiking. With effort and persistence, anyone can reach the summit, each at their own pace.
Born in Mukinge, Zambia, Alex moved to Chattanooga, TN at age 5 after his father died in a car accident. Grateful for the many people who guided him through his childhood, his decision to pursue a teaching career was partially motivated by the impact of his teachers.
In 2005, Alex graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Mathematics degree from Muhlenberg College, where he also volunteered weekly for 4 years at an after-school tutoring program. He received three awards for community service as well as the Muhlenberg College Goodwill Prize for his significant community impact. In 2006, he earned an M.S. Ed. from the University of Pennsylvania and a five-year Teaching Fellowship from the Knowles Teacher Initiative, becoming a Knowles Senior Fellow in 2011.
