Dear Parent(s)/Guardians and 7th Grade Students:
In preparation for the upcoming 2016-2017 academic year, the attached math assignment will provide the necessary problem-solving and mathematical-thinking practice for your child to be ready for the expectations of 8th Grade Math. This assignment was prepared to allow your child to maintain and/or reinforce the prerequisite thinking skills to be an active member of our 8th Grade IB Math class next year.
It has been my experience that many prerequisite mathematical skills are lost due to the absence of regular practice over the summer. The loss of these skills may contribute to unnecessary frustration and possible lack of success for students as they begin their next level of mathematical study in the St Matthias IB Program. Retaining skills as students move up to the next grade level is crucial to their academic performance. It is for this reason that I ask that your student complete the following problems and puzzles over the summer.
The twelve problems that are included will take anywhere from 2 minutes to 30 minutes to complete. Therefore, it is not advised to leave this work until the end of the summer. I recommend spending 15-20 minutes per week on this packet. I will collect it from the students on the first day of school, August 22, 2016, and it will be assessed as their first quiz grade for the school year.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about the enclosed assignment.
Enjoy your summer and I look forward to seeing our new 8th Grade in August!
Sincerely,
