2 I m excited for our class next year and to spending homeroom with you all. PART ONE: Summer math Packet You will be quizzed on this material during the first full week of school Calculators will not be allowed on the quiz you take covering this material, and so it will only hurt you if you use one to complete this assignment. Please do not use a calculator on this assignment, except to check you work; however, note that you will not be able to do this on the quiz.

3 The goal of this assignment is not to get it done as fast as possible. The purpose is to make sure you don t forget all that you learned this past year. Please pace yourself. Don t try to complete the assignment all at once. Similarly, don t put it off until the last week in August. To help you pace yourself, I m asking that you and your parent/guardian keep track of your work.

4 Try your best to complete one worksheet per week. I understand that it is Summer , and that this might not be possible every week. Please use the chart on the back of this page to keep track of the work you do this Summer . I will collect this form when I collect your work in September. Do you best at pacing yourself, and be honest in reporting how you complete your work. PART TWO: KHAN ACADEMY v Please sign on to and practice your skills for at least 30 minutes every week.

5 V This is especially helpful if you are having trouble with any of the topics in the Packet ! If you don t need help with those, you are encouraged to practice any other grade level math skills or even learn new things! v If I am not your coach and you are able to add me, my email is I look forward to working with you all next year. My hope is that this assignment will allow us to hit the ground running at the beginning of the year, so that you will be very well prepared for high school math .
