Summit help & setup

What is Summit

Summit is a mastery-based math tutor. Instead of watching videos, students practice one skill at a time and have to get five questions right in a row before the skill counts as mastered and the next one unlocks. Every question is generated fresh, so there's no answer key to memorize — only the method to learn.

It's built for families: a parent sets up a family, each child joins on their own phone, and the parent can see exactly where everyone is stuck.

Signing in

Everyone — parents and kids — signs in the same simple way: with a phone number. There's no password and no app to download.

1. Go to summitmath.app on your phone.
2. Enter your mobile number and tap Send code.
3. Type the 6-digit code you receive by text. That's it — you're in.

Create your family · parents

The first time you sign in, Summit asks whether you're setting things up or joining. Choose “I'm a parent,” then “Create a new family.” Enter your name and you're done — Summit generates two codes for you.

• A kid code — share this with your children so they can join.
• A parent code — use this to add a second parent later.

Both codes always live at the top of your parent portal, so you never have to write them down.

Invite your kids

1. Open your parent portal and find the Kid code at the top.
2. Have each child sign in on their own phone at summitmath.app.
3. They choose “I'm a student,” enter the kid code and their first name, and tap Start climbing.

Add a co-parent

Want a second parent to see the portal too? Share your parent code (the second code in your portal).

1. The second parent signs in with their own phone number.
2. They choose “I'm a parent,” then “Join as a co-parent.”
3. They enter the parent code and their name — and they'll see the same family and the same kids.

Read the parent portal

The portal is your home base. At a glance you'll see every learner's rank, Ascent Points, streak, and how many skills they've mastered.

Tap a child to drill in. Summit surfaces the specific misconceptions behind their wrong answers — like flipping a sign when distributing a negative — and flags the skills where they're getting stuck, so you know exactly what to help with.

Join your family · students

Ask your parent for the family's kid code, then:

1. Sign in at summitmath.app with your phone number.
2. Choose “I'm a student.”
3. Enter the kid code and your first name, and tap Start climbing.

How practice works

Your map shows all of Algebra 1 as a path of skills. Tap the skill you're on to start. Each one gives you a quick teach, then real questions.

• Type your answer and tap Check.
• Get five in a row right and the skill turns gold — mastered — and the next skill unlocks.
• Miss one and the streak resets. That's on purpose: mastery means you really have it.
• Already-mastered skills stay open so you can review any time.

Points & ranks

Every correct answer earns Ascent Points (AP). Harder skills and longer streaks are worth more. Points move you up a ten-step ascension ladder:

Wanderer → Initiate → Apprentice → Adept → Scholar → Sage → Master → Archon → Ascendant → Immortal

Getting hints

Stuck on a question? Tap “Stuck? Get a hint.” Summit's AI gives you a nudge in the right direction — a question to think about or the next step to try. It won't just hand you the answer, because the point is to learn how to get there yourself.
